8. George Steinmetz
It is known that every photographer has its unique style, but Steinmetz managed to combine his Geophysics degree and his photographing career in a remarkable way.
The work of this photographer has been seen in Smithsonian, The New Yorker, and even the legendary National Geographic.
He is a rich man who likes to take pictures from a motorized paraglide, resulting in exceptional prints of inaccessible corners of the Earth.
His work managed to carve a niche so demanding that predecessors hesitate to follow in his footsteps.
The truth is that the art of capturing volcanoes, deserts and other remote landscapes come naturally to him.
To get photos similar in nature to the type he has in his portfolio, one would have to forfeit traveling in planes and vehicles.
