Amos Nachoum

Explorer, Artist, Guardian

Amos Nachoum stands as an emblem in the realms of wildlife and underwater photography. For over four decades, he has seamlessly merged his role as an
explorer and an artist, immersing himself in the most pristine aquatic habitats
to bring forth images that captivate, educate, and inspire. Every frame he
captures tells a story — of nature’s might, fragility, and the intricate dance
of life beneath the waves.

While Amos’s earlier years were marked by service and resilience, it was the serenity of the ocean that truly beckoned him, leading him to the United States. Here, he refined his craft, with an innate understanding of light, motion, and the
behaviors of the marine world. This expertise has seen his work grace the
esteemed pages of National Geographic, Time, Life, and The New York Times, to
name a few. His dedication and prowess have also garnered him significant
accolades, including being a two-time honoree of the BBC Wildlife Photographer
of the Year.

But Amos’s journey is not just about accolades. In founding Big Animals
Expeditions, he extended an invitation — for adventurous souls to witness and
chronicle the majesty of marine species alongside him. From the formidable
great white shark to the ethereal orca, every expedition with Amos is a
masterclass in understanding, respect, and connection with the marine world.

His 2019 documentary, “Picture of His Life,” serves as a testament to his
indomitable spirit and relentless quest for excellence. Through it, viewers
journey with him to the icy realms of the Canadian Arctic, sharing in his dream
to photograph a swimming polar bear — a vivid portrayal of his commitment to
marine grandeur.

In essence, joining Amos Nachoum on an expedition isn’t merely an adventure. It’s
an enriching experience — a chance to learn from a maestro whose heart
resonates with the very pulse of the oceans. Whether you’re an explorer, a
seasoned photographer, or someon
