Paul Nicklen, renowned for his wildlife and landscape photography, co-founded SeaLegacy with conservationist and photographer Cristina Mittermeier. His work has taken him worldwide, highlighting Earth’s biodiversity and its challenges amid the climate crisis.

Nicklen’s latest project, ‘Reverence,’ encompasses over three decades of exploration, compiling 160 photographs, many previously unpublished. Published by Hemeria, this book is the most extensive collection of his work so far.

  • The book includes striking images like the Colorado River delta’s intricate patterns and narwhals feeding in the Arctic Bay off Baffin Island.
  • A statement accompanying the collection notes, “Reverence is what we feel in the silent presence of a whale beneath the ice, in the fierce gaze of a polar bear, in the timeless dance of ocean and light.”

‘Reverence’ will be released on July 28, coinciding with World Conservation Day. Pre-orders are currently available.
