SAVING OUR PLANET, LIFTING PEOPLE OUT OF POVERTY, ADVANCING ECONOMIC GROWTH... THESE ARE ONE AND THE SAME FIGHT. WE MUST CONNECT THE DOTS BETWEEN CLIMATE CHANGE, WATER SCARCITY, ENERGY SHORTAGES, GLOBAL HEALTH, FOOD SECURITY AND WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT. SOLUTIONS TO ONE PROBLEM MUST BE SOLUTIONS FOR ALL.

ONSERVATION PHOTOGRAPHY provides a general charge to nature photographers: recognize that you can be the eyes for society at large and choose projects accordingly.
Photographers can choose to look beyond the postcard shot and document an animal’s behavior, as well as the context for its conservation. Rather than just take, the resulting images can give back to nature by advancing public understanding and appreciation. Photographers will always be drawn to a famous subject such as the Grand Canyon. But going to the same public vista to make the same photograph that has been made thousands of times before is not likely to help conservation. As Michael “Nick” Nichols said, there is “no more time for images that do not fight for that which has no voice.” Learning what issues the area is facing and approaching from that perspective, however, will allow the photography to be educational as well as inspiring. As Sartore said, “these are the pictures that go to work.” Limiting focus to issues should not detract from the beauty or impact of the photography. Think of a painter selecting a canvas. No matter the size of the canvas, the creative opportunities are infinite. Addressing issues should actually make the photography more relevant and publishable.
“HOW CAN WE BE SO ARROGANT? THE PLANET IS, WAS, AND ALWAYS WILL BE STRONGER THAN US. WE CAN’T DESTROY IT; IF WE OVERSTEP THE MARK, THE PLANET WILL SIMPLY ERASE US FROM ITS SURFACE AND CARRY ON EXISTING. WHY DON’T THEY START TALKING ABOUT NOT LETTING THE PLANET DESTROY US?” PAULO COELHO
OVER As a conservation photographer, I share my photographic passion and my defense of ecosystems among marine and terrestrial environment. No limits to protect the Wildlife! From an early age, photography has been his language to transmit feelings and messages. His objective is to spread, through photography, the need for sustainable projects and the balance needed to conserve as much as possible terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Photography is one of the most powerful tools to document the changes and impacts of ecosystems due to the human activities. Multi-award winning various competitions in nature photography, national and international. Jury and speaker at various photo contests. Currently he teaches photography and continues to document marine and terrestrial ecosystems throughout the planet from a conservation point of view. Currently, living in Spain.
