Frans Lanting (born 13 July 1951) is a Dutch National Geographic photographer, author and speaker.
Life
Lanting was born in Rotterdam in Netherlands. He studied economics at the Erasmus university in Rotterdam and later immigrated to the United States. He now lives in Santa Cruz, California, and operates a studio and gallery as well as a stock photography service. Lanting's wife Christine Eckstrom is a writer, editor, producer, and works on joint books of nature photography.
Lanting works in many different parts of the world, including the Amazon basin, Africa and Antarctica. His photographs are regularly published in National Geographic, where he served as photographer-in-residence.[1] He took thousands of photographs of bonobos, most of which were deemed to be too explicit by the magazine, as the animals engage in frequent sexual activity. Lanter used some of these photographs in his collaboration with Frans de Waal in The Forgotten Ape (1997).[2]
Lanting is also featured in Outdoor Photographer, Audubon, and Life. A 2005 exhibit in the Field Museum of Natural History, entitled Jungles, focused on the plants and animals of the rainforest. His 2006 exhibit, Life: A Journey Through Time, part of the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music in Santa Cruz, California, combined his photography with the music of Philip Glass. A traveling exhibition, Frans Lanting: LIFE began in fall 2006 at the Dutch natural history museum in Leiden, Netherlands. The show then traveled through Europe and the United States.
Lanting is a Fellow of the International League of Conservation Photographers (ILCP).[3]
From May through July 2012 there was an exhibition with 75 photos from Life: A Journey Through Time on the Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:WPSHIPS utilities/data' not found. in the harbour of Rotterdam.[4]
