7. TECHNIQUES
 Explain and said by Florian Schulz
For me, I love documenting entire ecosystems, so I have to have the approach of looking at it with
different angles, with different eyes. On the one hand, it's capturing shots that show the animals
very small, almost the size of ants, as part of the big landscape, but then also switching to a strong
telephoto lens and taking intimate portraits.
 The light, of course, is always one of the most important things because that gives the mood, the
atmosphere. But the beauty about the Arctic is that the sun sometimes for hours can just stay just
above the horizon, for example, during the midnight hours in the summer and throw this beautiful
orange light onto the caribou or onto whatever other animal you might find.
 I think what was important was to get different impressions and different perspectives. The aerial
expedition, of course, helped to get a really big overview of the different dramatic areas in the
Arctic. The Teshekpuk Lake area, for example, with so many lakes scattered all across the flat Arctic
coastal areas, but then you have the steep mountains with glaciers across the Brooks Range that
come in connection there with the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. And then you have the ocean,
which has pack ice that normally stays in the Arctic Ocean all the way into July and that pack ice
can be filled with thousands and thousands of seals.
 But then you also needed to be on the ground in camouflage tents and wait for the return of snowy
owls to the nest and photograph that and get insight into the life of a snowy owl as she is raising her
chicks. So yeah, it was definitely a challenge to give very many different perspectives, and of course,
also find ways to photograph the king of the Arctic, the polar bear, which is a really big challenge.

8. DISTINGUISHING
 His work frequently document and take photographs
to create awareness for the public about the ecosystem
and wild life.
 Most of his shot for wildlife are taking upclose with the
animals or using dynamic perspective in taking the
nature eco systems.

9. Respond and Rolemodel
 His works is breath-taking and really powerful in
showing the nature/wildlife beauty to me. Since I also
liked nature photography , I decide to look up on
Florian Schulz for the amazing shots and way he take
the photos.

10. Aesthetic and Technical
 This photos Florian Schulz took is really well
taken in the correct timing. The image is well-
compose and the animal stood well together
with the surround.
 Such shots have to been organised and have
good estimation in such places because most
action in this photos only happen in a split of a
second and might change the next second.
