Thomas Marent spent his childhood developing a strong fascination for nature and wildlife. While exploring nature around his home he was watching the birds and observing frogs, insects and flowers. A lifelong passion arose and at the age of 16 he bought his first camera. And from that moment on he became as passionate about photography as about nature.
Marent first set foot in a rainforest in 1990, in Australia, at the age of 23.
It was the rainy season and the forest was bursting with life. It was hot, humid, noisy and completely exhilarating, but most exciting of all was the wildlife. I was immediately hooked. There and then, I made up my mind to explore rainforests throughout the world. And so he did.
