About

Lana Tannir is a National Geographic Explorer, biologist, science storyteller, and internationally-published conservation photographer based in Germany. As a World Animal Protection, Girls Who Click, and f-stop ambassador, her stories advocate for global change by raising awareness and advancing education. Tannir works with scientists and research institutes to shed light on some of the most pressing environmental issues today. Her wildlife and landscape photographs encapsulate stories of biodiversity, ecology, environmentalism, and the intersection of humans with nature. In particular, she focuses on challenging environments and remote Arctic regions to unveil the last wild places on Earth.

 

Since graduating from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, Tannir has worked on more than 100 projects on an international scale. Her collaboration partners include NGOs, non-profit organizations, sustainable brands, and eco-friendly tourism agencies.

 

Tannir’s photographs are regularly exhibited in Germany and the UK – most recently at photoMÜNCHEN 2019 and Mohr Villa Freimann 2018. Her latest publications include National Geographic GermanyTerra Mater MagazinOceanographic Magazine, Wildlife Photographic, North Wales Magazine, The Telegraph, and Reclam Verlag.

 

In 2021, she received an honorable mention at the International Photography Awards in the photojournalism category and was named an emerging photographer in landscape photography by National Geographic Germany.
