Portuguese travel photographer and documentary filmmaker Joel Santos has a knack for capturing compelling and unforgettable imagery, and his adventurous nature also means he eagerly embraces new technology.
Joel's images transport us to remote parts of the world, and invite us to consider the people who live there. Whether he's capturing stunning shots of active volcanos in Guatemala and Indonesia, cormorant fishermen in China, eagle hunters in Mongolia, or remote tribes in South Sudan and Ethiopia, his photographs and TV documentaries give us a fascinating glimpse into the lives of indigenous people around the globe.
Joel has an eye for the wild and the remote, and his photographs are in the tradition of great travel writers and artists – opening up new windows on the world while, simultaneously, reminding us where we have come from, and asking us where we are headed.
