Biography
Movie actor, then responsible for an animal sanctuary in the sixties. Air balloon pilot in Kenya in the seventies. He began the photography to illustrate his thesis on the lions. He struggled to carry out his exhibit The Earth from Above, which attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors. His book of the same title became a true best seller. Eternal lover of Earth and man, he devotes his work to the defense of populations and places in precarious situation. His book 365 days: Earth from Above dedicates each day of the year to an endangered site. The passion of the public allows hoping that the call of this photographer has been heard. Humbly, Yann Arthus Bertrand assures that his photographs, of striking beauty, do nothing but to reproduce the world. Still it is necessary to know how to look at it. The colorful, resplendent, singularly geometrical images that he brings back from here and elsewhere form one of the most beautiful anthems to the earth.
