Nita Winter and Rob Badger, internationally acclaimed conservation photographers, take you behind the scenes of their 27-year journey photographing wildflowers and superblooms throughout California and the West.

In their new 12-time award winning coffee table book, Beauty and the Beast: California Wildflowers and Climate Change, art and science are seamlessly woven into a beautiful work that celebrates California’s amazing plant diversity and inspires hope and action.

Wildflowers are especially vulnerable to climate change and habitat loss, and the photographers and the book’s 16 diverse authors have dedicated their life’s work to protecting these flowers and addressing climate change. With this project they hope to inspire others to do the same.
