Amos Nachoum, a renowned wildlife photographer and explorer, has profoundly impacted photography and wildlife conservation. Celebrated for his close-up underwater shots of large marine animals like whales, sharks, leopard seals, crocodiles, anacondas, and polar bears, he has earned numerous awards and global recognition.
Beyond capturing stunning images, Amos passionately advocates for environmental conservation, using his work to raise awareness about endangered wildlife and natural habitats.
Since arriving in the USA from Israel in 1977, Amos has embarked on daring explorations, photographing wildlife from the North Pole to Antarctica. His work aims to dispel myths about “dangerous” wildlife, showcasing harmonious interactions between humans and animals.
He recently published BIG, a book featuring his wildlife photography, and was the subject of the documentary ‘The Picture of His Life’, which chronicles his quest to photograph polar bears underwater—twelve people landed on the moon, and only five have dived with polar bears!
