Michael Nichols created an exhibition called “wildlife” for Visa pour l’Image 2017. His exhibition was sponsored by Canon and shots he took were truly incredible. The main focus of this exhibit is to give an inside look at natures wildest creatures and landscapes across the world. As an award winning photographer, he decided to take his talents into the 
wildlife and take shots of some of the most incredible pieces that haveever come across to begin with the project. He would send the exhibit some pictures to go with in order to add more flair to the exhibit.
Nichols in his efforts to contribute to the exhibit , wrote a book entitled “A wild life”. It is said that this is an inside look at what he had to overcome in order to get the shots he needed and to get all the shots he took approved by his photo editor. Nichols feels that every photo that he takes must tell a story and the story must be the worthy of being take. In an interview with Time Magazine he said that “In a time where we are covered in either the truth or lies, it is best we look 
back at the pictures”. The pictures are out number one source to get the information we need. In that same interview he said that the pictures play the “strongest role” because data and readings aren’t always the truth but it is what it is.
As a kid, Nichols used to runaway into what he called the woods and he said in doing that continuously made his body used to what he would realize is the cold outdoors in order to get these phenomenal shots. His works have influenced many in the photography community and served as a mentor to many as he shared his works with the up and coming photographers. He provides leadership and great opportunities to allow the youth to learn how he took those shots and what he did to make himself notably famous around the community. His influence and style made photographers change the way they went about taking the shots the needed to go with all the shots All of these shots were hard enough for him to take but with time and practice, they were able to come out just perfect to be used in exhibitions in order to get the name out there as we speak.
