Tim Laman is National Geographic photographer with a deep passion for birds and wildlife who also has a background in ornithology, having obtained his PhD in biology from Harvard University. He has photographed twenty-five assignments for National Geographic magazine on a range of wildlife subjects, but with a strong emphasis on birds, which have always been a favorite subject. He is the co-founder of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Birds-of-Paradise project, and the first and only person to photograph all 39 species of birds-of-paradise in the wild. His work has garnered numerous international awards, including the overall title "Wildlife Photographer of the Year" in 2016.
