Paul Nicklen
Paul Nicklen is a Canadian visual artist and marine biologist, who has documented both the beauty and the plight of our planet, for over 20 years. Nicklen’s photography informs and connects by creating an emotional bond with wild subjects, in extreme conditions.
After a 20-year career of photographing for journalistic publications like National Geographic, Nicklen has a perpetual dream to revisit his archives for the true artistic gems and release them to the world. His ongoing journey is to continue photographing intimate, evocative and powerful subject matter to create a thought-provoking body of work. Nicklen hopes his viewers look into the eyes of the animals in his photographs and fall in love with their vulnerability.
In addition to being one of the world’s most renowned nature photographers, Nicklen is a well-known speaker, TED Talks participant, author and National Geographic Fellow. In the past two decades, he has collaborated with scientists, filmmakers, conservationists and explorers to create awareness and inspire action for global issues, such as climate change.

Born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1966, he is an internationally acclaimed fine art photographer and Europe’s best selling wildlife photographer. "What is the key to having an edge in my genre of photograph in 2016? It cannot purely be technical camera fluency as that would enfranchise photographers across the globe – many of whom doubtless know their camera guide appendix far better than me. Nikon may have made me an ambassador, but not on the basis of my understanding of page 239 of the manual. Of course an innate sense of compositional balance and unerring focusing ability helps, as does a literacy in the language of light. But again, whilst this may narrow down the field, none of these skills are uncommon. I am always conscious of the fact that in 2016, everyone is a photographer. My firm contention is that the key to taking transcending photographs in the field, is access to great content and this comes from research, perseverance, occasional bouts of bravery and most of all logistical excellence. These variables collectively morph into one goal – “precision’”. Without an obsession with precision, the game is down to luck and luck, by definition, is a leveller. I take issue with those that say wildlife photography is about luck, because as I grow older (and looking in the mirror I see that I have aged a great deal camping in Alaska over the last 10 days), I can reasonably argue that research and logistical excellence tilt the odds in the favour of the applicants. I want to be the best – why settle for anything less in this trade? This is not ego talking, it is natural to be the best you can be. To succeed will not be about me learning about new functions on the camera, it will be through a constancy in my commitment to homework. Alaska is the perfect example of this dynamic. To go on photographic assignment there is much more a test of map work, spontaneity, people skills and quick thinking than it is of photographic prowess per se. To do a good job in this remarkable wilderness requires a respect for logistics – indeed that is what a lead photographer in the true wild must be – a logistics expert. Let’s start with a simple check. Google “Best places to photograph grizzly bears in Alaska” and there will be about 30 options articulated. The favourite places are designed for “weekend warrior” cameramen. Brooks Falls in Katmai for instance is effectively a zoo – with heavy park warden presence and soulless viewing stands. There is no joy for me in a place like this – and I did pop in to seek that confirmation this week. I am better than sitting on a stand with a long lens along with 40 amateurs. Kodiak Island has a huge number of bears, but because big game hunting is legal there, the bears are skittish and sometimes dangerous. Hallo Bay – site of the Disney Film “Bears’” has let the success go to their heads and the bear viewing is overrated, expensive and too accessible. They also regulate far too heavily. I know, I spent two days there last week being told where to sit. That is like asking Liam Gallagher not to swear. Most of Google’s 30 favourite places, hold no visceral grip on me – they are main-stream and dull. Setting up sensible and practical remote control positions leans me towards remote river banks and the summer salmon runs. Each river has its own unique salmon run and the times not only vary between rivers over a 12 week period, but each river has a different pattern each year. If the salmon run a specific river starts on July 22nd one year, they could run 7 – 10 days either side of it the next year. This requires a need to be spontaneous and be on the ground picking up grass roots detail. “How are the fish running” became my opening gambit the second half of July. I am no fisherman either. Over these last 10 days, I have had one picture in mind – a wide angle remote control shot of a big bear on a river’s edge. Something immersive and very close. But the 2016 season has not been predictable – berries have been plentiful and bears love berries as much as salmon, so traffic in some rivers has been abnormally light. But bush plane by bush plane I narrowed down my focus to an area I knew well – 70 miles south of Illiamut on the Alaskan Peninsula. We deliberately flew very low over Funnel Creek earlier in the week and saw at least six adult bears fishing up river and so we touched down in the tiny village of Illiamut to discuss logistics. Every village in Alaska has a landing strip. The next day, we were dropped off by float plane...Category
