Press Release
The Photography of Jim Brandenburg
Flashes into the Wildlife Experience March 8
DENVER --February 13, 2003 - Forty images from the career of renowned National Geographic photographer Jim Brandenburg will be on display at The Wildlife Experience beginning March 8. The traveling exhibition, The Photography of Jim Brandenburg, represents decades of Brandenburg’s assignments in the world’s most picturesque places.
Organized by the Bell Museum of Natural History in collaboration with the American Museum of Wildlife Art, this exhibit captures the beauty of such places as Namibia, Scotland, Asia, and the Dakota Badlands. Brandenburg’s photographs capture not only exotic landscapes of our world but also the wildlife living in these habitats.
The exhibit, in the upstairs gallery at The Wildlife Experience, includes images from a variety of his assignments. A highlight of the show is the figure of a lone Oryx crossing the vast Namib Desert. Among his other stunning works are: “The World of Aldo Leopold,” “Artic Wolves on Ellesmere Island,” “Red Deer,” “Bamboo in Asia,” “Steger North Pole Expedition,” and “The Tallgrass Prairies in North America.”
Brandenburg’s still photography for National Geographic’s “ At Home With The Artic Wolf” won several awards and led to Brandenburg’s successful book, White Wolf: Living With an Artic Legend. The television documentary on the white wolf that Brandenburg directed and filmed for the National Geographic Society and British Broadcasting Corporation also garnered awards, including the BBC Wildlife Magazine and Eastman Kodak Company’s prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year.
The Photography of Jim Brandenburg will be at The Wildlife Experience through June 15, 2003. There is no extra cost to see this exhibit. Special programs, including children’s art projects, will be scheduled in conjunction with the show.
