In 'Reverence,' Three Decades of Paul Nicklen's Remarkable Photographs Exalt Nature

"Known for his stunning photos of wildlife and landscapes, as well as co-founding SeaLegacy alongside fellow conservationist and photographer Cristina Mittermeier, Paul Nicklen has traveled the globe to not only highlight our planet's phenomenal biodiversity but also to shed light on its increasing vulnerabilities due to the ongoing climate crisis."

"Nicklen's most ambitious project yet gathers myriad images from a career exploring the corners of the earth for more than three decades. Forthcoming from Hemeria, marks the most comprehensive collection of his work to date. The book features 160 photographs, including some of Nicklen's most enduring images alongside others previously unpublished."

"From the root-like system of the Colorado River delta to narwhals feeding on cod in the Arctic Bay off Baffin Island, Nicklen's photos illuminate the vast and resilient beauty of the natural world. "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," says a statement."

""It is what the natural world evokes when we stop long enough to truly see it." Reverence is slated for release on July 28, which is also World Conservation Day, and pre-orders are open now."
