“Daniel Fox is pushing the limits of exploration in a much-respected initiative to teach us all about the fragility and beauty of our world. His Wild Image expedition, a respectful around-the-globe kayak adventure, is yielding dynamic and ravishing photography plus provocative insights about man’s need to live in harmony with the extraordinary bounty of nature.” William Tomicki, Senior Editor Traveler Overseas Magazine, Travel Editor American International News Syndicate

Born in Quebec, Canada, and now residing in Portland, Oregon, Daniel has lived in New York, Los Angeles, Barcelona, Montreal, London and Cannes. Explorer, photographer and documentary maker, Daniel Fox follows in the footsteps of his childhood heros, David Attenborough and Jacques Cousteau, traveling Earth’s remote places. His lifelong passion for adventure and nature, and his commitment to inspire change and improving lives have led him to create The Wild Image Project, with for mission to motivate others and alter their perspective on global issues by aesthetically presenting information and ideas that stimulate engagement, involvement and transformation.

For their Bicentennial anniversary, the Government of Argentina has invited Daniel to return to their country and capture on film its wildlife. The results will be presented in a major exhibition at the Consul General in New York city in October 2010.

In 2009, he was named North American Champion by Aquapac.

His work is published through Wend Magazine, World Reviewer, Matador Travel and his adventures have been covered by Planet Green, Treehugger, Elephant Journal, Been Seen and several other online outdoor outlets.

About the Wild Image Project

The goal of the Wild Image Project is to raise awareness on the fragile and complex beauty of our planet and the necessity of living harmoniously with nature and preserving it for future generations. Images will be showcased in several multimedia photo essays, books and exhibits, designed to inspire viewers and raise their consciousness about the future.  Images will predominately be of wildlife, with special focus on endangered species and difficult-to-photograph subjects in their natural habitat.  Landscapes and scenic images will round out the collection for each phase of the expedition, producing a comprehensive perspective on the regional geography and wildlife and the contribution they make to our global ecosystem.

Testimonials

“As an art dealer I am always on the look out for a sense of urgency - a moral purpose even - in the paintings I examine. In Daniel's work I find these qualities in abundance. Each image of a natural event becomes a wonder through his lens; we are quietly but consistently reminded how fragile, how exquisitely precious, is our world. The choice of subject and viewpoint stops us in our tracks and sometimes absorbs us completely: The sky is brought up to our face, the eye of a horse reveals an endless distance. Daniel's message is hinted at through through an intense observation of his subject; but he is not didactic and the imagery is beautiful to behold. We just know it is our duty to love our world and to look after it.There is a deep conviction at work here. We are reminded now of a line of Wordsworth, now of a drawing by Ruskin or Turner. Daniel has a great gift with which to enthrall us.” Andrew Wyld, Managing Director, W.S. Fine Art, London

"Daniel Fox is the quintessential explorer.  It's hard to imagine this man sitting idle--  it doesn't even seem possible.  No, as an editor working with Daniel, I look forward to his dispatches as they come to us, as they're guaranteed to drip with passion, courage, and stunning images the likes of which most people will never see.  One part intrepid adventurer, one part naturalist, and one part environmentalist, Fox not only uses his expedition for personal growth, but documents it adroitly with tremendous technical craft, in order to share it with the world.  His generosity of spirit makes for important work that will affect the destiny of our natural world positively.  The work he produces enriches the lives of our readers by capturing their imagination, demonstrating the hidden industry of beauty that is our uncharted world." Stiv Wilson, Editor In Chief, Wend Magazine

“With Daniel's images, I could immediately recognize the inherent passion and story. Each image also possessed an elevated technical quality which are all key ingredients of a superior work. As I got to know Daniel, I recognized he possessed a driving force and creative vision which I found compelling enough to want to be a part of bringing the work to a wider audience through our printmaking process and capabilities. Ultimately, what made me feel that each of these images were not only technically good but also creatively very strong was the composition which forcefully frames each image within a moment of place, time and circumstance. I feel fortunate to be Daniel's fine art printer and am looking forward to the ride and rewards of seeing the Wild Image Project progress through Daniel's words, stories and most importantly images. I feel like our collaboration has just begun and as time progresses will truly grow and mature to create stunning fine art prints. Through these prints my reward is in helping Daniel realize his vision and promote his important mission and journey to the public which, after viewing, will leave them wanting to know and see more.” Lincoln Miller, Owner, Pushdot Studio Gallery
