Van Den Brandt’s decades of adventures photographing a wide range of animals across the world are sure to fascinate anyone who’s ever marveled at the stunning moments wildlife photographers are able to capture.

“Whether hanging out of a helicopter while photographing polar bears or swimming with manatees, this job provides exciting wildlife viewing opportunities that I’m privileged to experience,” said Van Den Brandt. “You’ll leave this presentation inspired to visit your own favorite wild places to try new strategies for getting close to animals.”
