Usually traveling alone, Marent has been known to spend extraordinary lengths of time to get the perfect shot--sometimes 12 days.
You can see the results in his first book, Rainforest.
The book is his testament--an intimate collection of more than 500 breathtaking animal and plant portraits, and the fascinating stories behind them.
Questions for Thomas Marent Amazon.com: What inspired you to start taking pictures? Marent: I used to be a birdwatcher in Switzerland--and soon I was also interested in amphibians, insects, and plants.
After a while I thought it would be nice to have pictures of all these beautiful animals.
