Ian Shive: Wilderness and the National Parks - Fine Art Prints available at Edition ONE Gallery

Ian Shive is an American filmmaker and photographer best known for his images and films of nature and the outdoors. Recipient of the prestigious Ansel Adams Award for Conservation Photography, Shive has been praised as the “leading chronicler of America’s national parks.” His passion for photography has led him to scale heights that most veteran photographers have yet to reach, resulting in him becoming one of the most published nature photographers in the world.

An inquisitive and tireless explorer, he has worked on assignment with some of the largest media outlets and most impactful environmental nonprofits and government agencies in the world, including the Nature Conservancy, the Sierra Club, the Environmental Defense Fund, the National Parks Conservation Association, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The National Parks: Our American Legacy and The National Parks: Our American Landscape, two of Shive’s best-selling photography books, have played a role in shaping environmental diplomacy efforts throughout the world and heightened awareness of our national parks and the National Park Service. Shive is currently at work on a film about the Midway Atoll, part of a marine national monument in the Pacific Ocean that was recently expanded by President Obama.
