Yann Arthus-Bertrand said this quote

The Earth is Art, The Photographer is only a Witness

~ Yann Arthus-Bertrand

The lions taught me photography. They taught me patience and the sense of beauty, a beauty that penetrates you.

~ Yann Arthus-Bertrand

I learned to be a hot-air balloon pilot to take tourists over the Masai Mara Reserve in order to earn some money and finance the work I was doing with my wife, Anne. We were studying the life of a family of lions for more than two years. Taking pictures was a way to capture information we could not put in words.

~ Yann Arthus-Bertrand

No one is an environmentalist by birth. It is only your path, your life, your travels that awaken you.
