Daisy Gilardini is a professional photographer who resides in British Columbia, Canada. She moved here from Switzerland. Daisy began serious photography when she visited India in 1989. The photographer has visited more than 70 countries and has captured very memorable images. In 1997, she made her first trip to Antarctica and fell in love with that region. Many times she tried to comprehend this attraction to the Polar Regions which had become irresistible, and which she would define almost as an obsession or addiction. These exciting adventures take her out of her ordinary world and lead her in a voyage of self-discovery. The separation from all the distractions that comes with the modern civilization and the separation from the modern civilization itself bring her back to focus on and appreciate the simple rhythm of Nature. She has spent most of her time photographing the Polar Regions. She has been doing polar explorations for almost twenty years and she joined more than sixty voyages to the Arctic and to Antarctica, most of them on icebreakers and research vessels, some overland, and one on a sailing boat. She says that as an environmental photographer it is her duty to capture the beauty of the places she has visited, and also to capture species that she considers to be at risk so as to raise awareness about them through the power of the images she captures. Her images have been published by leading organizations and magazines, such as BBC Wildlife, World Wildlife Fund, Smithsonian, National Geographic, Nature’s Best, The Telegraph, Audubon, Greenpeace, Outdoor Photography, among many others. Today, framed Daisy Gilardini art adorn the walls of many buildings around the world.
