Michael Poliza’s “Eyes over Africa” won 1st place in the 2008 International Photography Awards under the nature book category.<\/p>\n

In 2006, to fulfill a long-held dream, widely acclaimed photographer Michael Poliza and friend Stefan Breuer undertook a helicopter journey across Africa. Skimming close to the ground, they flew over 19 countries. Poliza’s alluring—and often surprising—photographs share this exceptional journey with the world. With a bird’s-eye view, we witness the astounding beauty, scale and diversity of this imposing continent. The accompanying texts give a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the photographs, and brief background to some of the most fascinating subject matters.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n

Following his stunning photo-safari in Africa<\/em> and an unprecedented helicopter voyage from Europe to Africa in Eyes over Africa<\/em>, the award-winning photographer has ventured to the polar regions. With his inimitable blend of intimate close-ups and cinematic landscapes, Poliza leads us through the magical worlds of these frozen paradises most threatened by global warming. Poliza shows polar bears as they frolicked among purple fireweed against the majestic Arctic backdrop, varied and multicolored icebergs, as well as a number of rare and endangered species. Poliza once again captures the most vulnerable treasures—still ensconced in our planet’s few pristine landscapes.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n
