ABOUT
Join us for this special one-off National Geographic Live presentation, as world renowned photographer and National Geographic Explorer Thomas Peschak shares the untold story behind his groundbreaking new book, Amazon.
To document the rarely explored underwater worlds of the Amazon, Peschak spent 396 days crossing the world’s largest river basin, from its icy headwaters at 20,000 feet in the Andes mountains all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. As part of the National Geographic and Rolex Perpetual Planet Amazon Expedition, Peschak blended his expertise as a marine biologist with his passion for photojournalism, documenting the river's wonders and challenges.
Hear firsthand about his incredible encounters with pink dolphins, packs of giant otters, electric eels, stealthy caiman, and the critical conservation issues facing this vital ecosystem.
Don't miss this opportunity to dive into a world rarely seen and be inspired by the power of photography to drive conservation.
Thomas Peschak
Thomas Peschak is a world renowned National Geographic Explorer and photographer who documents our planet’s last wild places. He transitioned from marine biology to photography, believing his images and stories could have a greater conservation impact than scientific statistics. For 20 years Peschak has covered wildlife and conservation stories for National Geographic magazine, winning 18 Wildlife Photographer of the Year and seven World Press Photo Awards. He recently completed a harrowing 396-day exploration of the Amazon River Basin, photographing rarely glimpsed underwater worlds from the high Andes, all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. This monumental body of work, part of the National Geographic and Rolex Perpetual Planet Amazon Expedition, made him only the second person in National Geographic’s magazine’s 136-year history to photograph an entire issue.
