WORLDWIDE WATERS
Water will be the most valuable raw material of the future worldwide. Other than oil, gas, or gold, water is essential for the survival of all forms of life and irreplaceable.
Based on the success of „African Waters“, „Worldwide Waters“ is an art project, with which adventure photographer Florian Wagner will create awareness for water related issues through breathtaking 360° aireal photographs. Having started the project in Abu Dhabi, Florian plans to discover the water situation in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and the Americas.„American Waters“ is the next big step, for which Florian will circumnavigate the Rocky Mountains, documenting essential stories about relevant water sources, such as „The Colorado River“ or the "Great Salt Lake" amongst others for a 2 x 45-minute documentary in cooperation with Servus TV (Red Bull Media House).
AMERICAN WATERS
Florian will explore the Wild West of the United States by helicopter, starting in Portland Oregon, crossing the Rockies to the East to the Great Salt Lake, followed by the Colorado River, which he will follow down to Baja California. Native Americans, Scientists, Farmers, Park Rangers, and Politicians amongst others will give him an insight on the ground of things that go right and wrong and how the future could be influenced positively.
The images and their stories will be presented in a TV series, exhibitions, a coffee table book, press work and multimedia lectures in cooperation with OWC and Viva Con Agua.
PROPOSED ROUTE - PHASE 1
AFRICAN WATERS
Travelling 10 African countries by helicopter was an incredible adventure and eye opening journey, equally.
The echo of the press was mind-blowing. All major media celebrated the coffee table book called „African Waters" we created in cooperation with Terra Mater Books in 2018.
Route
EUROPEAN WATERS
Based on the success of African Waters, we continued our journey in 2020 to have a close look to water related issues in Europe. The journey started at the Aletsch Glacier in Switzerland, where we found out through our Protagonist Prof. Matthias Huss, that Europes longest glacier (23km long, the ice up to 800m thick) will be melted by the end of the century, while Venice (Italy) faces the challenge of rising sea levels and a sinking ground water level at the same time…. .

Who is Florian and why would I want to work with him?
Bio and other stuff
My name is Florian Wagner (*1967). I was born in Garmisch Partenkirchen, a small town in the Bavarian Alps. After finishing school, compulsory army service and an apprehentership in international’ sales business, I started to work as a professional photographer in 1995.
Creating meaningful, emotional content at the highest professional level is my passion. My clients are high-class brands and well-established print media. TV broadcasting stations report about my work on a regular basis.
I develop adventure stories such as “African Waters”, using unique perspectives, which are not accessible for most people. Combining experience with my high-profile network, I build a community, in which all partners involved benefit from raised brand awareness created through strong images in combination with high end image trailers.
My work explores wildlife, outdoor adventures and the environment.
I am also a paragliding instructor, ski instructor, hunter and helicopter pilot. These skills have been used in favour for my clients from the very beginning.
Besides numerous publications for „National Geographic“, „Süddeutsche Zeitung”,„Stern”, „Playboy“, „Terra Mater“, „Fit For Fun“ and „Porsche Magazin“, I represent OWC and Leica as brand ambassador.
