“Without nature and wildlife, we wouldn’t be able to live on the planet. Our planet’s stability, it all starts with the Arctic.

The changes in this part of the world are impacting the rest of the ecosystem on the planet, which we depend on to live as humans.”

Florian’s mantra – highlighted in big bold letters on his website – is ‘Witness, document, protect the fragile poles’. And in those six words, we have a beautiful, simple summary of conservation photography.

Australian filmmaker Jarrad Seng said of Florian’s photography: “There are images that might impress you with their technical mastery, and then there are images that make you feel something. This photograph floored me. It is especially poignant given the climate crisis our world is facing right now.”
