Roie Galitz

 Israeli

Wildlife photography

" For me, a Loweprofessional is someone who takes his photography to a whole new level: both pushing the limits of pro photography and pushing the limits of the adventure. Since nothing is within my comfort zone, might as well have a comfortable photo bag, both in capacity and on my back. "

Roie Galitz’s greatest life passions, nature and photography, take him into the wild. As an adventurous wildlife photographer, he travels in extreme conditions to the remotest places on earth, capturing images of rarely viewed animals in their natural habitats. His lifelong mission is to take pictures that were never taken before, through which he is able to raise awareness to pressing environmental issues. He does so also as a public speaker and Greenpeace ambassador.

Roie’s photographs get great exposure worldwide, millions of views and frequent appearances in the media (BBC, National Geographic and many more). It was presented in global exhibitions, featured in exclusive magazines and honoured with over 50 international awards over the past decade.

For his achievements and environmental activism, Roie was named to The Marker's 40 under 40 list in 2017. He shares his knowledge and passion with tens of thousands of photography lovers at the establishments he founded: Galitz School of Photography, Phototeva Expeditions, Composition Magazine and the Annual Israeli Photography Convention. He also co-founded TalkMaster School of Public Speaking, and frequently gives talks in photography conferences and environmental events all over the world, at the United Nations, TEDx talks in Finland, Scotland and Ireland, to name a few.
