What we are passionate about

Our Projects

Our Philosophy

"Some of Earth’s greatest dramas don’t take place in fantasy worlds or on stages. They happen in the wild. They happen on frozen arctic tundra’s, deep under water in vast seas, on savannah plains, in forests and on steep mountain faces. These are the epic stories of Mother Nature, and her actors are bent on survival."

— Florian

Freedom to Roam - Wilderness Unlimited

 …Caribous by the thousands roam free along the Alaskan coast towards their birthing grounds; Hundreds of snow geese beat their wings in search of their nesting grounds; giant grey whales congregate by the hundreds in their birthing lagoons in Baja California…” an amazingly curated photography exhibit showcasing remarkable photography of unseen wildlife spectacles on their epic journeys across North America.

To The Arctic

Florian’s images have inspired the creation of several exhibitions to bring the arctic closer to our eyes. The last one curated by the Anchorage Museum in Alaska and a larger one, curated by the PAPE Museum in northern Mexico, had an impressive outreach of about 18,900 individuals on its 6-month show. A collection of about 90 stunning frames, transformed the walls of this museum into the incredible world of the arctic. Take a closer look here >>
