Voted Wildlife Photographer of the Year by Sanctuary magazine — and at the same time revered by many in the local community that encompass Ranthambore National Park, in Rajasthan, India — like Fateh Singh before him, Aditya "Dicky" Singh is one of the "good guys and gals," a small but vital group of steadfast individuals fighting to protect India’s heritage both now and for future generations.

The story is simple: On a bright autumn morning in November 1998, Dicky and Poonam Singh jumped into their car In Delhi and set off to make their dreams a reality — of escaping the city and living a life connected to the land "to live in nature with tigers in our backyard." Over 20 years later and much toil, sweat and tears, they are the proud custodians of a project in rural India that shows the way for the world, how to live a sustainable life.

The fruits of this incredible journey are now available on 1stDibs through the sale of limited edition prints of Dicky’s wildlife photographs.

There are many photographers, wildlife experts, historians and artists but in Dicky Singh all of these skills are deftly packed into one man. Add to this his unparalleled experience and knowledge gained through day-to-day existence with the tigers and the national park, and you have a tour de force — Singh's photographs are the culmination of all of these skills focused on the power of that one second when his finger presses the camera button.

The name Aditya "Dicky" Singh is synonymous with wildlife photography in India. His work can be seen in national newspapers, magazines, websites and tourist agencies — in fact, anywhere a great wildlife photographer is needed. He is the first port of call for film directors and documentary makers wishing to capture the beauty of India’s natural world.

Used to refer to a time rather than an aesthetic, Contemporary art generally describes pieces created after 1970 or being made by living artists anywhere in the world. This immediacy means it encompasses art responding to the present moment through diverse subjects, media and themes. Contemporary painting, sculpture, photography, performance, digital art, video and more frequently includes work that is attempting to reshape current ideas about what art can be, from Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s use of candy to memorialize a lover he lost to AIDS-related complications to Jenny Holzer’s ongoing “Truisms,” a Conceptual series that sees provocative messages printed on billboards, T-shirts, benches and other public places that exist outside of formal exhibitions and the conventional “white cube” of galleries.

Contemporary art has been pushing the boundaries of creative expression for years. Its disruption of the traditional concepts of art are often aiming to engage viewers in complex questions about identity, society and culture. In the latter part of the 20th century, contemporary movements included Land art, in which artists like Robert Smithson and Michael Heizer create large-scale, site-specific sculptures, installations and other works in soil and bodies of water; Sound art, with artists such as Christian Marclay and Susan Philipsz centering art on sonic experiences; and New Media art, in which mass media and digital culture inform the work of artists such as Nam June Paik and Rafaël Rozendaal.

The first decades of the 21st century have seen the growth of Contemporary African art, the revival of figurative painting, the emergence of street art and the rise of NFTs, unique digital artworks that are powered by blockchain technology.

Major Contemporary artists practicing now include Ai Weiwei, Cecily Brown, David Hockney, Yayoi Kusama, Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami and Kara Walker.

Since the introduction of photography in the 19th century, it has been used to show the earth’s diverse landscapes. Modern and contemporary landscape photography continues to capture scenes of landscapes from around the world while becoming much more exploratory.

Historically, artists have played a key role in landscape preservation. Early 20th-century landscape photography provided a powerful argument for the establishment of the U.S. National Park Service a century ago, and iconic national park shots by Ansel Adams and Eliot Porter captured the public’s imagination and fueled conservation efforts.

The world of landscape photography has grown far more experimental in the last several decades, bolstered by innovative techniques and creative talents. Abstract landscape photography is often a thought-provoking exploration of bold, bleeding colors. To understand just how abstract these images can be, look no further than Jean-François Rauzier's outstanding landscape compositions.

A simpler style is offered by minimalist landscape photography and its subdued tones. These pieces tend to imbue their surroundings with a sense of serenity, making them an excellent addition to bedrooms and quiet living rooms. And like any other works of art that you’ve brought into your home, there are many ways to arrange photography in a space. Small areas, for example, are ideal for displaying more petite pieces. These can also be positioned in a cluster as a gallery wall. You can stand framed landscape photography on an easel, a mantelpiece, floating shelves or on the floor leaning against a wall.
