Wild Wonders of Europe photography project

Epson has joined forces with Wild Wonders of Europe (WWoE) - as well as many of Europe's top wildlife photographers - to launch a photography project that aims to protect Europe’s landscape and wildlife by highlighting the extraordinary beauty and rich diversity of the continent's natural heritage.

A ‘dream team’ of 66 international wildlife photographers - including Laurent Geslin, Linda Pitkin, Christian Ziegler, Maurizio Biancarelli and Igor Shpilenok - were provided with our latest imaging technology and equipment to ensure that their photographs stood the best chance of inspiring change and the impetus to protect our endangered wildlife and environment.

The results of this collaboration are a stunning collection of wildlife and landscape images are a travelling photography exhibition that will visit 48 European countries from 2010. With venue cities including London, Paris, Stockholm, Istanbul, Brussels, Copenhagen, Prague and The Hague, this really will be a groundbreaking venture of bringing the beauty of Europe straight to the people of Europe through vivid, unforgettable images.

Staffan Widstrand, renowned photographer and Managing Director of Wild Wonders of Europe said:"We want to use the power of images to touch the emotions of our 700 million fellow Europeans, and to re-connect them with their natural heritage. Our partnership with Epson will really help us to do this."

Our high-end projectors will support the touring exhibitions and Audio-Visual shows, while the Epson Stylus Pro printers will be used for fine art nature prints. We’re also producing large scale outdoor prints for display in capital cities around Europe and will be making other imaging equipment available for WWoE photography workshops.

Aside from providing the equipment, Epson have also funded this multi-faceted, multi-media project. As well as the touring exhibition, other highlights include; photographic competitions, - prizes include Epson photo printers and photo viewers - a coffee-table book, training and educational programmes.
