Diego L. Sánchez is a nature photographer based in Vancouver

A former biologist, he blends science and art to capture the natural world — from the rainforests and coastlines of the Pacific Northwest to the volcanic landscapes of the Canary Islands, the high valleys of the Himalayas, and the unique biodiversity of Madagascar. His work has appeared in National Geographic, GEO, Birdwatch, and numerous other magazines and books, and is available for editorial assignment and print.

Explore his images through galleries organized by environment: Terra (earth), Aqua (water), Fauna (wildlife), Foresta (forests), Glacies (ice), and Oceanum (oceans), and his most personal projects include books on El Teide National Park, the archipelago's giant lizards, and its endemic flora — long-term work documenting the singular ecology of the Canary Islands.
