A remarkable photographic exploration of life on earth
In the year 2000, world-renowned wildlife photographer Frans Lanting
set out on a personal journey to photograph the evolution of life on
earth. He made pilgrimages to true time capsules like a remote lagoon in
Western Australia, spent time in research collections photographing
forms of microscopic life, and even found ways to create visual
parallels between the growth of organs in the human body and the
patterns seen on the surface of the earth. The resulting volume is a
glorious picture book of planet earth depicting the amazing biodiversity
that surrounds us all. Lanting's true gift lies beyond his technical
mastery: it is his eye for geometry in the beautiful chaos of nature
that allows him to show us the world as it has never been seen before.
From crabs to jellyfish, diatoms to vast geological formations, jungles
to flowers, monkeys to human embryos, LIFE is a testament to the magical beauty of life in all its forms and is one of Lanting's most remarkable achievements.
