The Sternberg Museum is hosting the “Thomas D. Mangelsen: A Life in the Wild” exhibition.

Mangelsen has spent over 40 years filming and photographing nature and wildlife from all over the world. His passion for nature and his pursuit for the “perfect picture moment” has led him to capture stunning images of animals in their natural habitat. Mangelsen offers a chance to get a whole new perspective of the animals’ lives and their struggle to survive in their ever-changing environments.

Some of Mangelsen’s work has been featured in National Geographic, BBC Wildlife, Life magazine, National Wildlife, Smithsonian, Natural History, Newsweek, Wildlife Art, American Photo, and Nature’s Best Photography. He was named 2011’s Conservation Photographer of the Year by Nature’s Best Photography, one of the 100 Most Important People in Photography by American Photo magazine, and one of the 40 Most Influential Nature Photographers by Outdoor Photography.

The exhibit runs through Dec. 29.
