Spotlight on Paul Nicklen
       © Paul Nicklen




The 2012 Veolia Environnment Wildlife Photographer of the Year shares his thoughts on winning, the importance of photography and the environment, and his tips for success.

When my name was announced as winner of the 2012 competition I was incredibly surprised. I wasn’t expecting it at all. Then the hugs came from many of my peers who I respect so much which made me quite emotional. It was a great moment and a great evening all round. Perhaps the best thing about winning the competition is that I feel like I’m part of a family of photographers who are out there really pushing the boundaries of making powerful images and telling important stories.

There are so many things I appreciate about photography. Most of all, I enjoy the combination of art, science and conservation. This penguin story was right up my alley. They are such striking birds that I could watch them underwater all day long, or until I nearly got hypothermia from being in the water so long. I love the science of the newly discovered bubble physiology and of course the overall conservation message is so important: if we continue to lose ice in the polar regions then we will see the disappearance of species such as emperor penguins in our lifetime.

National Geographic calls me an underwater street photographer as I like to get as close as possible with my subjects. If I am going to get people to care about my subjects and the stories I want to tell, I need to take the most intimate pictures I can. I believe that a strong image will illicit an immediate visceral or emotional reaction from the viewer. They need to learn something, feel something and then want to hang that image on their wall as art.

I had many different experiences shooting the emperor penguin image. On the second day of our project in the Ross Sea, I was attacked and hurt by a leopard seal when it lunged at me on the ice and we had to overcome a lot of nerves when getting in the water knowing the seals were employing ambush strategies. When the penguins arrived at the surface, they created chaos. They stirred up the slush, ran into me and created pandemonium. Then I saw it out of the corner of my eye, a penguin resting against the side of my head. I used it to frame the image and then just started shooting. The image itself is quite chaotic which I like. Looking at perfect images all of the time can feel a bit redundant. I like it that you can study it for quite a while and learn something each time.

And for all the photographers entering the competition this year, my advice would be not to get too hung up on perfection. My winning image was far from perfect but allowed the viewer to feel as if they were swimming with countless penguins under the sea ice. Rather than looking at the picture, the viewer is in the picture.    2012 Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition

Radius Books offices, 227 Place Ave., Suite W., Santa Fe, NM
Friday evening, March 22, 2013 thru Sunday afternoon, March 24, 2013
RADIUS SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS 27 & UNDER

This intensive weekend bookmaking workshop is open to anyone who is passionate about a photography project that he or she has been working on –– from serious amateurs to seasoned professionals, from documentary photographers to art photographers, from those photographing a theme, a place, or an issue to those working on a more personal series of photographs of family or friends. This workshop will help each participant learn how to take his or her project to the next level.

The workshop will be taught by Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb, a creative team who’ve edited seven books together — including Rebecca’s My Dakota, Alex’s The Suffering of Light, and their joint books Violet Isle and the upcoming Memory City —and by noted designer David Chickey, Radius’s publisher and creative director who has designed photo books for more than 20 publishers and museums over the last 15 years.

Through an individual assignment tailored for each participant, presentations, discussions, and an editing exercise, the Webbs and Chickey will explore with you a variety of book-related topics over this intensive weekend, including such issues as how to discover the heart of your photography project, how to edit and sequence a photo book intuitively, how to figure out what’s left to photograph for your project, how to choose a writer, title and cover image, how to work with a designer, what to expect when you go on press, and how prints in a book differ from prints on a wall.

To apply: photographers must submit 10 small jpgs (72 dpi, 8 inches on longest side) or a link to your project online, and a short statement about the project (no more than 250 words), as a word doc to the Webbs: webbnorriswebb@gmail.com Former Webb Workshop participants are invited to apply without submitting a formal application if Alex and Rebecca are familiar with your project.

For more information about the workshop, please contact Alex and Rebecca: webbnorriswebb@gmail.com
