✦作者简介——

艾略特·波特 (1901-1990) 是美​​国摄影界的偶像人物，他拍摄的自然界照片非常出色，而且画幅很大，色彩鲜艳。波特在哈佛大学开始了他的学业，但离开学校后，他把一生都奉献给了摄影事业，并支持环境保护事业，而这在环境保护事业被人们认识到其重要性之前就已经开始了。1962

年，波特创作了《荒野是世界的保护》，这是一本非常受欢迎的书，书中结合了他拍摄的新英格兰森林的彩色照片和亨利·戴维·梭罗作品的摘录。这本书通过为设计和印刷设定新的标准，并证明了艺术摄影书籍的商业可行性，彻底改变了摄影书籍的出版。它的成功使波特走上了一生的道路，即为世界各地各种具有生态意义的地方创作类似的摄影肖像。

波特对大自然运作的迷恋和强烈的环保主义道德从未停止过他对艺术的热情。在他的一生中，波特一直致力于制作和展示精心渲染的染料转印彩色照片，这些照片曾在许多个人展览中展出，包括美国自然历史博物馆、现代艺术博物馆，以及大都会艺术博物馆举办的彩色摄影个人展。

亨利·戴维·梭罗 (1817-1862) 是一位美国作家、诗人、哲学家、废奴主义者和环保主义者。他知名作品是《瓦尔登湖》，这本书反思了在自然环境中的简单生活，以及他的论文《公民不服从》，该论文主张个人反抗公民政府，以道德反对不公正的国家。

Eliot Porter (1901-1990) was an icon of American photography, most often associated with his outstanding, large-format, color photographs of the natural world. Porter began his education at Harvard University but left the school to devote his life to his photography and to champion the cause of the environment, long before such matters were recognized as important.

In 1962, Porter created in "In Wildnerness Is the Preservation of the World," an immensely popular book combining his evocative, color photographs of New England woods with excerpts from the writings of Henry David Thoreau. The book revolutionized photographic book publishing by setting new standards for design and printing, and proving the commercial viability of fine art photography books. Its success set Porter on a lifelong path of creating similar photographic portraits of a wide variety of ecologically significant places the world over.

Porter's fascination with nature's workings and strong environmentalist ethic never suspended his passion for art. Throughout his life, Porter remained committed to making and exhibiting meticulously rendered dye transfer color prints of his photographs featured in many solo shows, including the American Museum of Natural History, Museum of Modern Art, and the first, one-person show of color photographs presented by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) was an American author, poet, philospher, abolitionist, and environmentalist. He is best known for his book "Walden," a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings, and his essay "Civil Disobedience," an argument for individual resistance to civil government in moral opposition to an unjust state.
