Paul Nicklen Gallery

The Paul Nicklen Gallery was founded as a vehicle for conservationist photographers to display the beauties of the natural world while giving back to a charity organization of their choice. Through our partnership with Paul Nicklen and Sea Legacy, we’ll be working with some of the most renowned and award-winning artists from around the world to bring to our urban & affluent city of New York, transparency upon our impact on global warming and bring forth environmental awareness through visual storytelling. With the use of extraordinary imagery & motion picture, we hope to be the bridge between our urban world & the natural world that little of us have the pleasure of being a part of. Long before Paul Nicklen became iconic for his wildlife photojournalism, he was an artist at heart. Growing up in a small Inuit village in the Arctic, Nicklen expressed his voice through painting the ethereal landscapes of Canada’s north. After entering a career as a marine biologist, he grew frustrated with the lack of impact science had and pursued photography as a means to employ storytelling to inspire action. He now lives a life of art, purpose and adventure, combining his career as a long-time assignment photographer for National Geographic magazine and co-founder of the non-profit conservation society, SeaLegacy. Nicklen’s sensitive and evocative work has garnered over 30 of the highest awards given to any photographer in his field, including the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the year and the prestigious World Press Photo for photojournalism. He is equally recognized by the conservation community and was awarded the NRDC BioGems Visionary Award for his work in conservation. Most recently, Nicklen was bestowed an honorary Ph.D. for the impact his photography has had on climate change. In the past two decades, Paul has collaborated with scientists, filmmakers, conservationists, and explorers to create awareness and inspire action for global issues like climate change. https://www.facebook.com/paulnicklengallery/
