Guido Sterkendries' battle for life in the Amazone

Guido Sterkendries didn't study in university. His university was called wilderness. Some people call him the Eco-Tarzan.

Sterkendries has worked exploring and documenting the Amazone. This brought him to realise a lot of things about nature, the natives populations and himself.

Being a photographer has its sexy aspects. Our Eco-Tarzan climbed with ropes in the trees of the Amazone to get the best images out there. And he learnt valuable lessons from the locals. The natives don't have the same fears as we do.

Over the time, Sterkendries got to love the rain forest. But love is not always reciprocal. And of course the tough clouds of black flies hit exactly when there's something worthwhile to grasp. It's all document in Battle for Life, whose images speak for themselves.
