PHOTOGRAPHER — THOMAS D. MANGELSEN
Devoted to a lifetime of documenting the natural world, Thomas D. Mangelsen is one of the world's premier nature photographers. Driven by expressing the beauty and intricacy of the wilderness, Tom spends up to nine months in the field documenting the wild lands and creatures he so cares about. With a background in wildlife biology, he works both in cinematography and in still photography, media that he believes will touch people on an emotional level and move them to love and protect fragile places and animals.
All of Tom's limited edition prints have been captured in the wild, not in captive situations or "game farms," and they are presented in their true form without computer manipulation.
Thomas Mangelsen was honored with an Honorary Fellowship by the Royal Photographic Society in 2002, the North American Nature Photographer Association's (NANPA) Outstanding Nature Photographer of the Year 2000 award, and BBC's Wildlife Photographer of the Year in 1994. His work has also been published in leading journals and magazines such as Audubon, National Geographic, Life and Wildlife Art. He has been featured on television programs, including the Today Show and Good Morning America, to CNN's World News.
A childhood spent on the Platte River in Nebraska and graduate studies in wildlife biology led Tom Mangelsen on the path to photography, which has culminated into an extensive collection of internationally recognized work.
Thomas Mangelsen's images have been exhibited in museums across the United States, Canada, and Europe, and are available in fifteen Images of Nature® galleries across the United States.
