Photographer Feature-Art Wolfe

ART WOLFE
The son of commercial artists, Art Wolfe was born on September 13, 1951 in Seattle, Washington, and still calls the city home. He graduated from the University of Washington with Bachelor’s degrees in fine arts and art education in 1975. His photography career has spanned five decades, a remarkable testament to the durability and demand for his images, his expertise, and his passionate advocacy for the environment and indigenous culture. During that time he has worked on every continent, in hundreds of locations, and on a dazzling array of projects.

Art Wolfe was really the one who inspired me to become a Wildlife Photographer. I found out about him through his regular TV show on OPB "Art Wolfe: Travels to the Edge" when I was about 10-ish. He traveled the world and captured different cultures and wildlife that most people don't or can't see in their lives. Seeing that made me want to do it too. So I told my parents and they have supported me ever since.
