PHOTOGRAPHY RESEARCH:
ART WOLFE
2. ART WOLFE:
The son of commercial artists. From
Seattle, Washington, Graduated form the University of Washington
with a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts in 1975.
He is well known for his 5 decade long career as a wildlife
photographer and most a contributor to the art and science of
Photography. He has published and sold books world-wide, and
ever since 1978, Wolfe has published one book each year in his
career.
After publishing his first book: Indian Baskets of the Northwest
Coast with Dr. Allan Lobb, a close friend and Mentor, he has soon
found himself working, and shooting for well-known
magazines, such as: National
Geographic, Smithsonian, Audubon, GEO, and Terre Suavage.
3. WOLFE’S MOST FAMOUS WORK:
THE MIGRATIONS
• "In Migrations, I embraced the technology that was available to me, and I took the art of the camera to its
limits. This was not a moral issue. It was just that in the beginning, we were naive. We didn't use
identification. That is the sole issue. Photography has never been an accurate recording of what is out
there. For years photographers have manipulated images by using different lenses, filters, films and in the
darkroom.“ –Art Wolfe
4. THE CONTROVERSY
• Ironically enough, it was Wolfe’s desire to innovate that turned out to be the reason that
made him both famous in the world of art and photography, and infamous, among his
fellow photographic community.
• Wolfe’s book, ‘Migrations’, placed Wolfe in hot water among the photographic community.
As Critiques called a foul on his book, saying that digital imaging had no place in a nature
book.
• Others, such as Gary Braasch, chair of the North American Nature Photography
Association, were steadfast: "Nature photography is one of the last bastions of pictures
most people accept as real. Those who lie about the reality of their photos are taking
advantage of everyone else and undercutting the basis of all our success.“
5. STYLE AND SUBJECT MATTER
• Most of Wolfe’s subject matters would be, of
course wildlife.
• His style however, is unique in a way that he
not only composes his photographs on a
personal level with his subject, but
rather, he also ensures that the audience
learns something about the subject of the
photo.
• Wolfe’s style hasn’t as much
changed, though, he has embraced the
innovation of photo alteration, starting from
his controversial book: ‘Migrations’, then
further explored the world of digital imaging.

6. INFLUENCE OF ART WOLFE
• Throughout the decades of his career, Wolfe has worked around the world. His photos interpret
and record the fast disappearing wild-life, landscapes, and native cultures in the world. Through
this, he inspires more the people, whom, like him, try and preserve these wonderful creations
• Wolfe spends nearly nine months a year traveling, carefully researching the locations as well
as pre-visualizing the photographs he wants to take. He is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal
Photographic Society and a Fellow of the International League of Conservation Photographers.
He donates performances and work to environmental and educational groups every year; his
lecture series is also in demand for corporate conventions and trade shows. Wolfe maintains
his gallery, stock agency, and production company in the Pioneer Square neighbourhood of
Seattle.
7. • Wolfe currently has a show called: "Art Wolfe's Travels to the Edge," an intimate and
upbeat series that offers unique insights on nature, culture, and the new realm of digital
photography.
8. TECHNIQUES
