CHINA 2011Yunnan
BLOG: China workshop / Yunnan – Images by Art Wolfe
For the last 11 days I have been conducting a travel workshop in the heart of China to some of my favorite locations. While the large landscapes have been spectacular, I have been trying to open up my participants to a new way of seeing–looking for the unexpected. The following photos show some of my best images from the past few days, among these include, mud spattered cars that recall the paintings of Jackson Pollock, various wall details that highlight the residue of previous signage, and finally, the bittersweet encounter with a group of trained macaques.
Travels To The EdgeWhere is Art’s show?
People have been asking “Where can I see Art Wolfe’s show?” Well, happily, Art Wolfe’s Travels to the Edge is still being aired on public television in the US (check with your local PBS station), and it is being broadcast around the world as well.
DVDs of the 26 episodes are available on the Art Wolfe Store.
HD downloads of individual shows are available on the Luminous Landscape Website.
Thank you for your support and enthusiasm for Travels to the Edge!
Introducing Art Wolfe’s Wilderness Scent
Drawing upon his native home of Seattle, Washington, Art Wolfe has personally harvested the fir, salal berries, and cedar bark that are the essence of this audacious fragrance. This is a must for any Northwestern male, or any man who wants to smell of the Northwest. Be bold, be woodsy, be wild.
Special Introductory Offer!
Wilderness Scent Eau de Toilette Spray $69.95.
You’re diamonds, babe!

CHINA 2011Huang Shan – Part II
BLOG: china Workshop / Huang Shan – Images by Art Wolfe
The weather has been beautiful in Huang Shan, but not conducive to good photography. Without good light, there is a whole lot of nothing going on. In spite of this and the huge volume of tourists that now come here, these mountains remain spectacular. We are heading off to the rice paddies south of Kunming & hoping for better shooting conditions.

Vaughn Hart traveled with Art to Japan last month. To see more of his photos visit http://picasaweb.google.com/vaughnhart
“Traveling to Japan with Art was a trip I had been wishing to do ever since I saw his Travels to the Edge show on Japan several years ago. This trip exceeded my expectations. Traveling with Art, Gavriel, and our Japanese guides was simply outstanding. It was the hardest trip I have taken as we had to get up around 3 AM many nights to get to our location for sunrise. It was all worth it in the end. We got spectacular light and I feel I made some of my best images on this trip. Our timing for this trip was very fortunate. I arrived after the volcano erupted and left just a few weeks before the earthquake. I really got to see Japan at its best. The people were happy and extremely friendly and helpful. I also feel Art was an outstanding teacher who worked tirelessly everyday to help improve all of our photography.”
CHINA 2011First Look
BLOG: China Workshop / Shanghai – Images by Art Wolfe
Welcome to another international travel workshop, this time friend and fellow photographer Jay Goodrich is accompanying me to China. For the next 14 days we will be traveling through some of the most industrialized parts of China as well as the most rural. We will get to experience multiple cultures and multiple disciplines of photography. Never wanting to waste any time while traveling abroad, Jay and I decided to head out into Shanghai yesterday to look for unique and interesting compositions throughout the city. Here is what we found. The key here is that by trying to push your creativity beyond the standard vision of just recording what you see, you can walk away highlighting a different perspective of the world for your viewer.
UK WWF Stamp Set
The Royal Mail has selected Art’s image of a rhinoceros for a World Wildlife Fund stamp set issued today.
Ten species of animal that are presently involved in WWF conservation projects around the globe were selected in addition to the Black Rhinoceros, including an African Elephant, Mountain Gorilla, Siberian Tiger, Polar Bear, Amur Leopard, Iberian Lynx, Red Panda, African Wild Dog and the Golden Lion Tamarin.
The Black Rhino is listed as critically endangered, reaching a population low of 2,410 in 1995 mainly because of poaching. Since then numbers have been on the very slow rise.
Get your set today and support wildlife conservation efforts!
