Last of Their Kind

The visual Noah's Ark of endangered African wildlife: "Last of Their Kind" Internationally award-winning photographer Joachim Schmeisser presents "The Last of Your Kind" a tribute to the beauty of creation and reveals its transience. Elephant, rhinoceros, giraffe, lion, cheetah, leopard and mountain gorilla, all fascinating creatures and all of them are threatened with extinction. "Last of Their Kind" is both a homage and a warning ̶ a visually breathtaking work, characterized by great empathy, with the aim to sharpenour clouded view of the one, infinitely complex and vulnerable nature. These timelessly beautiful photographs are on the one hand testimonies of a distant past and, on the other hand, iconic reminders of a near future, in which we will only be able to admire these majestic creatures on illustrations or in zoos. USP's: - Strong visual messages: what humanity should protect, and what it will will lose - Intimate images that get up close and personal with the big animals - Foreword by Djimon Hounsou, two-time Oscar-nominated actor and WildAid Ambassador for Lions and Pangolins. - A project close to the heart of the award-winning photographer himself
