Born in 1965 in Bielefeld, Germany, nature photographer Thorsten Milse trained as a graphics designer, but then decided to pursue a full-time photographic career. Thorsten specialises in landscape and wildlife photography with a strong focus on conservation and endangered species.

Since 1990 he has worked on a variety of wildlife topics – from Cheetahs, Lions and Leopards in Africa; to Kangaroos and Koalas in Australia; from Tigers in India and Emperor Penguins in Antarctica to Walrus and Polar Bears in the Arctic. His images have been published in 25 countries in prestigious nature magazines including GEO, BBC Wildlife, Illustreret Videnskab and Nature’s Best Photography. His stunning pictures have been awarded several international prizes including BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year (animal behaviour) and the Grand Prize Winner at Nature’s Best Photo Competition.

From 2004 to 2008 he visited the world’s polar regions, often spending weeks in the field to capture some of the truly impressive feats of survival. In early 2010 Thorsten spent time photographing long-tailed macaques in Bali and his book ‘Africa's Last Wilderness: Namibia's Skeleton Coast’ (‘Afrikas letzte Wildnis: Namibias Skelettküste’) was published.

In late 2011 his epic coffee table book 'Polar World', the result of over six years of work in the Arctic and Antarctic regions, was published and in 2012 he has been shooting wildlife in South America and Europe using the latest Canon EOS DSLRs and EF lenses.
