"I've spent thousands of hours in blinds especially for my work photographing New Guinea's Birds-of-Paradise. Blinds have allowed me to get into positions that would be impossible to otherwise and to capture intimate images and natural behavior of some of the most dazzling and fascinating birds on earth." ~ Tim Laman

 

 

Tim Laman is a field biologist, wildlife photojournalist, and filmmaker.  Since getting his Ph.D. from Harvard for pioneering research in Borneo’s rainforest canopy, his cameras have been his tools for telling the stories of rare and endangered wildlife, and revealing some of earth’s wildest places.  He has photographed on all seven continents, and regularly travels to some of the most remote corners of the earth to explore and document poorly known species. He is most well known for his long-term work on birds-of-paradise and orangutans.  He has published 23 feature stories in National Geographic magazine, and has worked on films for National Geographic Channel, BBC, and Netflix.
