Yann Arthus-Bertrand (born March 13 1946 in Paris) is a French photographer journalist reporter and environmentalist. He founded the Altitude Agency in 1991 which was the worlds first press agency and images bank specialising in aerial photography (500000 pictures taken in more than 100 countries by more than 100 photographers). In 1994 Arthus-Bertrand started a thorough study on the state of the Earth sponsored by UNESCO. As part of the study he made a picture inventory of the worlds most beautiful landscapes taken from helicopters and hot-air balloons. The book from this project Earth from Above (¶la Terre vue du ciel·) sold over 3 million copies and was translated into 24 languages. In 2000 his "Earth from Above" free exhibition was set up on numerous big posters on the gates of Jardins du Luxembourg in Paris. It then travelled worldwide from Lyon to Montreal to 110 cities and was visited by 120 million people.
