The world

Michael Poliza is more than a seasoned globetrotter who has traveled through nearly 170 countries. He is also a collector of the world, always on the lookout for breathtaking landscapes, remote regions and untouched natural areas. With his camera always at hand, Poliza not only wants to experience the beauty of the planet, but also make it accessible to everyone. In his two major books, Africa and Eyes over Africa, and in his few volumes on South Africa, Kenya and Namibia, Poliza opened our eyes to the diversity of the African continent. In Antarctica, the WWF ambassador made a sensitive double portrait of the polar regions. And in his characteristic aerial photos, he even opened up new perspectives on well-known places such as Mallorca. In this new limited edition, The World, Poliza opens his digital treasure chest to reveal previously unpublished images from all seven continents.

As a true photographic world tour, we travel with him to Australia and New Zealand, to Vietnam and Myanmar, to the western US and north to Canada, to the Galapagos Islands and Bolivia, across Antarctica and the many countries of Africa. No matter how different the regions he explores, the photographer always captures extraordinary images, instilling both the beauty of our planet and the urgent need to protect the natural world.
