Art at Tilton – Steve Upton Photographs “Profiles in Nature”

From the savannas of Kenya and the "Great Migration", jaguar in Brazil, polar bear in the Arctic Circle, to walking amongst grizzlies in Alaska, Steve Upton has photographed wildlife non-stop. Somewhere along that journey, photography stopped being about camera settings and gadgets and evolved into a form of story telling. In essence, (says Upton) mission shifted from a pursuit of technical expertise to one of capturing the world's most awesome and beautiful creatures in their environments and bringing their stories home. Maintaining habitats is the only way populations can escape extinction but his comes in direct contrast with the development pressures of an ever expanding world. "Hopefully, my photography can stimulate conversations about the value of co-existence and just how to accomplish this noble cause." --from artist statement
