For the past 15 years, American photographer Mark Segal’s fascination with the world’s fastest land mammal has taken him across the U.S., Europe, Kenya, Namibia, and South Africa. What started out as an aesthetic obsession evolved as he deepened his understanding of this fierce yet fragile creature and its rapid path toward extinction. “My desire changed from simply wanting to experience cheetahs for my own selfish curiosity to wanting to contribute to their conservation.” Over the last ve years, Segal has traveled to various cheetah research and conservation centers to show the beauty and draw awareness to the endangered state of this magnificent predator. Known for his moody and emotional portrait and fashion work, Segal takes a personal approach to photographing nature, distinct from most wildlife photographers. He hopes that viewers will be captivated by the cheetah’s beauty and recognize the imperative to protect it and ensure its survival on our planet. Segal will donate all his profits from the sale of this book to the world’s leading wild cheetah research center, the Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia.

Mark Segal graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-arts in Paris with high honors and the photography merit prize. He has exhibited his work at the National Museum of Modern Art-Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, and the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris. He was the only photographer unanimously awarded the first ever “Young Photographer’s Prize” at Paris Photo in 1997. His work is in the French National Collection of Contemporary Art and the permanent collection of the Maison Européenne de la Photographie. Segal has contributed to Vogue, W, AnOther Magazine and T: The New York Times Style Magazine, among others.
