Amos Nachoum

Amos Nachoum is a professional wildlife photographer and explorer. He is renowned for his close-up underwater photography of large marine animals such as whales, sharks, leopard seals, crocodiles, anacondas, and polar bears.

Since 1978, he has explored every significant body of water from the North Pole to Antarctica, Amos photographs strive to dispel the myth of “dangerous” wildlife and show harmonious interactions between man and animal. He focuses on exploring close encounters with animal behaviour, predation, nursing, socialising, and migration. 

Amos’s photos and essays have appeared in publications including National Geographic, Time, Life, The New York Times, Condé Nast Traveler, Explorer Journal, and Fifty Fathoms. 

In addition to his photography, Amos is also an environmental activist and works to raise awareness about the importance of conserving the world’s natural habitats and wildlife. Amos aims his camera and expeditions to support science and conservation and inspire awareness about endangered wildlife.

Amos has recently published BIG, a book of his photography of big animals from around the world.
