Frans Lanting. LA VIE - Critiques
| "Life offers a stunning collection of wildlife photographer Frans Lanting’s finest work. Here, he reveals the hidden beauty of life on earth, in all its curious forms, from microbes to vast geological formations and many things in between. The result is a truly fascinating volume, which is not only an informative piece, but a spectacular work of art in its own right."— Image, Dublin, Irlande |
| "This coffee-table volume showcases images taken throughout Lanting’s long, much-garlanded career. Conceived as a visual history of life on Earth, it opens with spectacular shots of the world’s best-known wildlife."— BBC Wildlife, London, Royaume-Uni |
| "That idea sparked a seven-year quest that culminated in a 2006 book Life: A Journey Through Time, re-released in June in a new format by TASCHEN; a traveling photo exhibition; and a multimedia show performed worldwide... Lanting photographed on every continent – by air, sea, and land – and consulted scientists from various disciplines to build a visual timeline depicting the evolution of life."— Professional Photographer Magazine, Atlanta, États-Unis |

Der Holländer gilt als einer der besten Naturfotografen unserer Zeit und dokumentiert seit Jahrzehnten unsere Umwelt und sein Verhältnis dazu. Existenzielle Einblicke in sein Tun bietet dabei der Band Leben.”— Diners Club, Konstanz, Allemagne |

| «Frans Lanting a baladé son appareil photo aux quatre coins de la terre pour nous livrer cet album merveilleux où chaque page est une célébration et un hommage rendu à la vie.»— Le Télégramme, Morlaix, France |
| "We are currently drooling over Dutch photographer Frans Lanting's, Life a thoughtful and visually intoxicating look at life on earth, in all its diverse manifestations."— Huffingtonpost.com, New York, États-Unis |
| "Frans Lanting takes advantage of photography's timeless quality to accentuate the most primeval aspects of diverse animals, plants and fossils. The images in Life seem like postcards from the earliest moments of life on earth. A black heron fishing in Botswana's Okavango Delta hides beneath the penumbra of its wings and appears more like a water lily or some nomadic tent. Resting in the fork of a Madagascan tree, a lemur fuses with the trunk. A flower-hat jellyfish resembles some microscopic organism blown up for the human eye. Mr. Lanting relishes the colors and textures of nature's flora and fauna, but he shapes them into totems. The quiver trees in South Africa's Richtersveld National Park are posed not against blue sky but against harsh red rocky soil that evokes Mars and emphasizes the trees' remarkable endurance in arid terrain. Mr. Lanting's almost abstract deployment of color takes us out of time: The earth stands still, and life is what endures."— The Wall Street Journal, New York, États-Unis |
