Work

In Lanting's early work it is evident that he traveled to many different parts of the world. In one instance, he did some work in Madagascar, Africa in which he captured wildlife and tribal traditions that had never been seen before.

More recently, Lanting's word is often shown in National Geographic as he is a photographer-in-residence. His work is also in the LIFE Project (2006) as it was launched as a book, exhibition, and a multimedia symphony with music by Phillip Glass. As of 2005, Lanting published his work, Jungles, in the Field Museum of Natural History. The main focus for this was based in the rainforest which led to animals and plants being showcased.

Lanting also created "A Journey Through Time" as a lyrical interpretation of the history of life from the Big Bang Theory to the present that took place in May to July 2012. This was a 75 photo exhibition in the harbor of Rotterdam.
