Johan Wildhagen

He strips nature photography down to the bare essentials, mostly because he never let any concern stand between him and what happens in front of his camera.

 

In even the most monotone landscapes he finds vibrant colours, and in busy locations, he can choose to capture moments of powerful peace.

 

In total, he might have spent a hundred years of his life in the wilderness, if we are to count the numerous assignments and personal projects he has completed.

 

And then, every work from his hand is a relentless reminder that nature is mightier than us, and his filming combines energy, excitement, and respect. Because, even though he is a notorious visual explorer of untouched nature, he leaves no trace.
