Wildlife Photography Exhibit at Edward Carter Gallery
Frans Lanting, hailed as one of the great nature photographers of our time, portrays wild creatures as ambassadors for preservation. This unique view of wildlife, which lies at the heart of his work, provides some insight into why Mr. Lanting's photographs are so hauntingly beautiful. "Frans Lanting has set the standard for a whole generation of photographers," claims BBC Wildlife.
"His unforgettable images capture a moment of communion with the animal realm," writes Communications Arts of Mr. Lanting's book Eye to Eye, a portrait gallery of animal images that reveals the unique personal aesthetic Mr. Lanting brings to wildlife photography, as well as the startling new perspective on animals his images provoke.
In February 1999 Lantings year-long photographic odyssey to assess global biodiversity was published in National Geographic as the longest story by a single photographer in the 110-year history of the magazine.
In addition to the Lanting show, the Edward Carter Gallery will also have on sale Mr. Lanting's many photographic books, personally autographed by the author.
The Edward Carter Gallery is located at The Inn at Canal Square, 122 Market Street in Lewes, Delaware. The Gallery hours (through May) are Thursday through Monday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. They can be reached at 302-644-7513.
