Conservation Photography is a new part of photography, aimed at nature conservation initiatives. The contribution of photography in conservation is making pictures useful in scientific research, environmental documentation, or activities to raise consciousness on priority ecological themes.
Alberto Cambone and Roberto Isotti, photographers and founders of Homo ambiens, have been actively engaged for many years in Conservation Photography, even before its public recognition. Our works are often taken with the help of NGO, local Organizations or Foundations that protect natural area.
We create personal and self-initiated photography and multimedia projects.
We collaborate with publishers, NGO, foundations and Parks management offices to tell the natural world in an innovative, original, ethic way.
We trust that photography can help actively to increase global sensitive towards biodiversity, habitat preservation issues, for a new relationship between men and nature.
