ENGLISH VERSION "The photographs are stunning, and very beautiful" Photo Editor John Echave, National Geographic "Adriano Gambarini's pictures capture the solemn beauty of Brazil's cave systems" Wilma Simon - GEO Magazine Adriano is one of the most versatile and accurate of wildlife and wild lands photographers that I have worked with. When he takes pictures of animals you can see the biology as though in a text book. When Adriano photographs people you see the world through their eyes, not his. When he photographs a landscape, you feel as though you were sitting in the middle of it." James M. Dietz, Behavioral Ecologist and Conservation Biologist, University of Maryland, EUA. "Adriano knows the spirit and practice of science in the field. His intuition for the right moment and the right content is remarkable. With the same camera he can capture the structural majesty of a blackened cave, the spirit of the researchers, and the struggle of the indigenous people of the area. I greatly admire his eye and his dedication." Walter Hartwig, Paleontologist, Ph.D. - California, EUA.
