Jim Brandenburg World Class Print & Art Greeting Cards

Jim’s keen eye for transitional color patterns and vivid skylines has twice earned him The National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) photographer of the year award, as well as the Kodak Wildlife Photographer of the Year by the Natural History Museum-London and BBC Wildlife. One of only five Americans, he received the World Achievement Award from the United Nations Environmental Program in 1991 in recognition of his using nature photography to enhance public awareness of the earth’s fragile environment.

One of the highlights of Brandenburg’s career occurred in 1988 when he “discovered” and filmed for posterity a pack of wild Arctic wolves on Ellesmere Island in the high Arctic. It is believed that this was probably the last pack not ingrained with fear of proximity to man. Brandenburg’s extensive work photographing wolves has been vital in focusing attention on the animal’s status and he was instrumental in reintroducing wolves into Yellowstone Park.
