Art Wolfe's latest book, Wild Lives, released late last year, is now available in Australia. As with all Art's books, this is another remarkable publication showcasing his legendary photography skills and the immense passion & drive required to put together such an ambitious project. The following text and images offer a glimpse at what you will see in the book.
Wild Lives is a salute to the extraordinary diversity of species that inhabit the planet. Some are common, some rare, and many are conservation success stories, species that have been brought back from the edge of extinction. Over his forty-year career, Art Wolfe has photographed many species that were once on endangered species lists but are now flourishing (such as the bald eagle and humpback whale). These recoveries are an uplifting testament to the resilience of life when it is given a chance.
From amphibians and reptiles to mammals and birds, Wild Lives portrays an earthly aesthetic millions of years in the making. Wolfe has photographed more than 500 species in 60 countries, and the work in Wild Lives forms his most comprehensive, globe-spanning book of wildlife photography he has ever published.
