• Michael “Nick” Nichols, dubbed the “Indiana Jones of Photography” by Paris Match magazine, is an award-winning editor at large and a veteran photographer for National Geographic magazine. Devoting himself to producing photography that effects environmental change, Nichols' work documenting nature and environmental stories has taken him to the most remote corners of the world. In 2007, Nichols founded the annual LOOK3 Festival of the Photograph in Charlottesville, VA, a three-day celebration of peace, love and photography.

• Paul Nicklen uses his camera to reveal the nature of a world melting away under human-induced global warming. Whether ice-diving, covering hundreds of miles of terrain in -40F temperatures or mastering aerial shots from his ultra-light plane, Nicklen has specialized in photographing polar regions since 1995. Nicklen's childhood on Baffin Island in Canada's Arctic prepared him for a career in wildlife photojournalism. At a young age, he developed an appreciation for cold and remote surroundings. From the local Inuit community, he learned the Arctic survival skills that have guided him on each of his expeditions as an adult. His images reflect a reverence for the creatures inhabiting these isolated environments, and his unique personal and professional background enables him to take on the most inhospitable places on our planet.
