A passionate conservationist, Canon Ambassador and wildlife photographer/filmmaker Robert Marc Lehmann travels extensively with his work, including to Borneo, Southeast Asia where he took this image of a group of orphaned orangutans. "A lot of photographers are hunting for a special image, but I don't usually have a specific shot in mind," says Robert. "I'm just trying to document everything as naturally as I can."

Whether going toe-to-toe with poachers in the Sumatran rainforest or documenting illegal shark finning in the Gambia, the ardent conservationist isn't afraid to address uncomfortable topics. "I'm passionate about changing people's minds," he says.
