With the most intact rain forest in the entire Asia-Pacific, New Guinea’s forests represent one of the last great wilderness areas on the planet. Over the past eight years, Laman has been exploring the island nation to document its incredible biodiversity, including birds of paradise and bowerbirds, as well as rarely seen species from the “lost world” of the Foja Mountains such as a spike-nosed frog and the world’s smallest kangaroo.
From the ocean depths to the tops of the tallest trees, Tim Laman goes to any length to come back with the shot for National Geographic. In the course of shooting over 20 stories for the magazine in all kinds of places, Tim has created some really jaw-dropping images, all while having some pretty eye-opening experiences. In this inspiring and entertaining presentation, he shares some of his best photographs, as well as the trials and tribulations of life in the field.
The birds of paradise are some of Earth’s most exceptional, yet little known, treasures. Laman made it his mission to photograph—for the first time in the wild—all 39 species of this incredibly diverse group of birds. He and collaborator Ed Scholes studied and documented the birds in stunning photographs, videos, and audio recordings. On stage, Laman shares the challenges, discoveries, and adventures from 18 expeditions over eight years in search of these elusive wonders.
