is November, my friends at the International League of Conservation Photographers are celebrating twenty years of using photography to protect the planet with a special anniversary print sale called Prints for the Planet. From November 6 through the 27th, you’ll be able to choose from 113 fine art prints by some of the world’s leading conservation photographers. It’s a great chance to own a meaningful piece of art while supporting the future of conservation storytelling.
For two decades, iLCP photographers have been out in the field capturing the beauty and urgency of our natural world, from endangered species and wild places to the people working hard to protect them. This collection brings together more than a hundred of those powerful images, and I’m honored that a few of my own photographs will be part of it.
iLCP was founded on the idea that photography can make a difference, and it’s amazing to see how that vision continues to grow. If you’re looking for a holiday gift that supports a good cause and celebrates the beauty of our planet, take a look at Prints for the Planet and help keep this important work moving forward.
Happy spooky season to everyone who celebrates! The grey skies have returned to Seattle just in time for me to be off on another adventure. By the time this post hits the blog, I’ll likely be in Thailand and then Bangladesh grabbing some last minute photos for my upcoming book on international faith and spirituality. Act of Faith will explore people of all different religions and walks of life engaging in personal and communal acts as part of their belief system, from the Shamans of Mongolia to Jewish traditions in Israel.
Now that you might be indoors just a bit more due to to waning daylight and damp weather, I wanted to remind everyone that there are a few free episodes of Travels to the Edge and Pathways to Creativity online:
Art Wolfe’s Pathways to Creativity: Embracing the Abstract Youtube | Vimeo
Art Wolfe’s Travels to the Edge: Bhutan
Art Wolfe’s Travels to the Edge: New Zealand
My staff is also ready to print up unique holiday gifts if you want to get a jump on your shopping. In the spirit of the season, use code BOOPRINTS through October 31st and save 31% on prints!
Lastly, I would be remiss to not highlight a few upcoming trips for anyone who might be interested. Also expiring on the 31st is the early bird discount on a trip to Borneo next September—with an emphasis on wildlife. Also in terms of wildlife, the next big trip with space yet available are for a premium tour in Tanzania in January for the calving season, with an emphasis on the region’s active predators.
Lastly, I’ll be leading a tour in Morocco in March. Given past interest in this trip, I don’t imagine it will take long to fill up! If you’re looking to experience the convergence of culture where Europe, Arabia and Africa overlap, it will be an experience to remember!
Enjoy your weekend—I’ll be looking forward to sharing photos when I return!

Warm up your winter with December’s Print of the month! A solitary gemsbok crossing the sandy dunes of Namibia. What I love about this image is that on one hand, you have a simple image and a single subject – but looking deeper there are so many design elements coming together to compose the image. The pattern of hoof prints against the textured sands, the highlighted dust reaching forward – even the shadows on the landscape themselves form interesting shapes. I’m glad that we decided to rent a helicopter for this trip!
Print of the month is back just in time for the upcoming holiday season! It seems like a good time to spread a message of family and affection, so I’ve chosen a classic film shot from the early 1990’s of an emperor penguin chick and adoring parents. It takes both dedicated parents to ensure the chick is able to survive and thrive in the harsh Antarctic climes. Around the months of May and June, a female penguin will lay a single egg which is then passed on to the male to protect and incubate for the next 65-75 days. The female then heads back out to sea to recoup and feed for the next several weeks.
A collection of four penguin prints are on sale in the online store – purchase today and I’ll get my signing pad ready! If you’ve never purchased a fine art print before, our process is fairly simple. Each print is reviewed by our image editor to ensure quality before being printed on high-quality acid-free paper. The print is then allowed to off-gas before being signed and carefully wrapped and placed in a shipping tube to be sent your way. From here you can take your new fine art print to any local framer to be displayed to your liking!
Of course, we can also suggest framers and mounting services to meet your specific needs. If you have any specific questions give us a call or contact us and we will answer your questions!
