Wildlife photographer Paul Nicklen has spent more than three decades capturing images of the natural world. After years of painstakingly revisiting millions of shots from his archive, Nicklen has compiled a set of images that mean the most to him.<\/p>\n

The photo selection is presented in a stunning new book \u2013 Reverence \u2013 now available to preorder exclusively through Hemeria<\/a>. Nicklen will be exhibiting his work at the Iconic Images Gallery in London, United Kingdom, from the 9th November 2026. <\/p>\n

Here are some of our favourite shots from the book, from hunting grizzly bears<\/a> and marching penguins<\/a> to diving whales and curious narwhals<\/a>.<\/p>\n
