The World

Michael Poliza, a seasoned globetrotter who has explored nearly 170 countries, captures the planet's beauty through his lens, making it accessible to all. Known for his breathtaking books like Africa and Eyes Over Africa, as well as works on South Africa, Kenya, and Namibia, Poliza highlights the diversity of the African continent. In AntArctic, he offers a sensitive portrayal of the polar regions, and his aerial shots provide fresh perspectives on familiar places like Mallorca.

In this edition of The World, Poliza unveils previously unpublished images from all seven continents. From Australia and New Zealand to Vietnam, Canada, the Galapagos, and the Antarctic, each photograph showcases the extraordinary beauty and diversity of our planet. With every shot, Poliza not only reveals stunning landscapes but also inspires a deeper appreciation and urgent call to protect the natural world.

Life always shows Michael Poliza new paths: from actor to entrepreneur, from professional photographer to travel designer. After a career in the IT industry, Poliza embarked on a three-year multimedia expedition around the world on a ship. In 2002, he settled in Cape Town, travelled through Africa and quickly became a world-renowned and multi-award winning nature and landscape photographer. Michael Poliza is not only a globetrotter who has travelled to almost 170 countries in total, but a world collector. He is constantly on the lookout for breathtaking landscapes, remote and little-visited regions and intact nature reserves. Always with him is his camera, because he not only wants to experience the beauty of this planet himself, but to make it accessible to everyone.
