Juan-Carlos Muñoz combines biology and photography to study and represent biodiversity across the continents.

Juan-Carlos Muñoz is a Spanish wildlife photographer with a scientific background, specialising in documenting global biodiversity. With a degree in biology, he combines a rigorous knowledge of living organisms with technical mastery of photography. His approach is based on prolonged observation of species in their natural habitats, with a keen interest in behavioural interactions and ecological adaptations.

He produces photographic reports on every continent, covering a wide variety of environments: Arctic and Antarctic regions, temperate forests, African savannahs, wetlands and island ecosystems. He photographs both iconic species and more discreet forms of life, with the aim of promoting biodiversity and raising scientific awareness.

His images are distinguished by their rigorous composition, masterful use of light and particular attention to the representation of natural behaviour. Juan-Carlos Muñoz's work is regularly used in documentary books, scientific exhibitions and communication materials related to nature conservation.

His photographic practice is part of a documentary approach: showing living things as they are, in an ethical and informative context, without staging or artifice.
