Art wolfe

Art wolfe was born in 1951, as the youngest of three children born to a Navy-photographer father and a commercial-artist mother, Wolfe dreamed of becoming a full-time painter, not a photographer. It was at the University of Washington, while majoring in fine arts and art education that he first began experimenting with an old, used camera. Self-taught, he quickly mastered the mechanics of photography which proved to be the perfect medium for him, one which reflected both his strength as a painter and his love of nature and composition. His unique approach to nature photography is based on his training in the arts and his love of the environment. In 2000 Wolfe founded Wildlands Press (WP) to publish The Living Wild. His photographs are recognized throughout the world for their mastery of color, composition, and perspective. Art’s vision and passionate wildlife advocacy affirm his dedication to his work. By employing artistic and journalistic styles, he documents his subjects and educates the viewer. His unique approach to nature photography is based on his training in the arts and his love of the environment. Wolfe spends nearly nine months a year traveling. I can sit all day long and look at his photos, I kind of loose track of time when I look his images.
