Who is the photographer and what do they photograph?
The photographer previewed in this episode is named Eric Cheng. He is a Taiwanese American entrepreneur and professional photographer. He specializes in aerial and underwater photography. He has a passion capturing photographs of animals usually having a scary or dangerous reputation when in reality are harmless creatures if no harm is done to them. He has spoken about his passion in different events such as Ted talks.
What did you find the most interesting about this episode?
I thought this episode was fascinating how he approached the animals. He acted fearless unlike other people who haven't even been in contact with one. I like that he provides a different perspective and side of animals that are usually seen as dangerous. For example, he captured snakes underwater and they actually looked graceful and harmless in the water.
What did you learn from this episode?
By watching this episode I learned to not assume and form negative conclusions of something, in this case, predators. In other words, "don't judge a book by its cover." Cheng changed my perspective about snakes through his photography. Many things are misunderstood and are not looked to closely. In the end most predators are not as scary as they appear.
Where does this episode take place? Did you like the location? Why?
Cheng has traveled to many places all over the world visiting and capturing photographs of exotic animals. This episode, however, focuses on his journey to Brazil. I personally liked the location it is not a scenery I see on a daily basis.
Why is this work important?
Cheng's work is important and inspirational because his photography shows a different view of wild predators that have normally have a terrifying reputation. However, many times, people misunderstand them and do not look up close like Cheng does. Cheng's work helps others form a different perspective of wild predators. He also teaches one to be fearless and take risks.
