Biography

With iconic portraits of Africa‘s big game, Joachim Schmeisser is world famous, and his distinctive visual language — which has brought him great international acclaim — earned him the prestigious Hasselblad Master Award in 2012. The timelessness and intimacy of his photographs are characterized by a delicate sense of "greatness" that transcends ordinary beauty and makes the concept of the "sublime" palpable. He creates the feeling of witnessing something infinite or unattainable, and his phenomenal lighting moods and incomparable compositions evoke emotional levels that are difficult to put into words. Schmeisser‘s unique perspective on the world sets him apart and goes far beyond the usual image of nature photography, documentary, or action photography.  His books on Africa‘s endangered wildlife, "Elephants in Heaven" and "Last of their Kind," have become bestsellers.
