Portfolio - World's Wonders

Bring the world's wonders into your own home by owning a Vic Schendel print. In his trips to Africa and Central America, Vic captured an array of exotic creatures with his signature eye for color and design. The result is a series of photographs that are a unique "zoom-in" on some of the most incredible animals on earth. Put an elephant picture on your wall, or purchase an abstract of a peacock's feathers, and you'll be bringing home an everyday reminder of how wide the world really is.

African wildlife photography was never so up close and personal, featuring zebra stripes so close they're almost an optical illusion, and a peek right into the lion's den. Vic's travels in Namibia put his skills to the test. But even the most famously difficult-to-capture animals have become part of his extraordinary gallery.

A cheetah's long limbs are accented by the branches of the tree in which he's perched…a cheetah in a tree?! These are the rare moments that Vic is able to capture due to his incredible skill.
A male lion gazes directly at you, as if he can see you right through the picture frame…an incredible lion photo gallery was just one result of Vic's African adventure.
You will be tempted to reach out and stroke an elephant picture by Vic, just to feel the texture of that leathery skin.

African wildlife photography is one of the only avenues most of us have to discover a continent shrouded in mystery.

Costa Rica Photography - Vic made the most of his opportunity to capture the colors of Costa Rica. Photography allowed him to use both the abstract nature of the feathers and furs of that part of the world, as well as the bold, humorous personalities of the oddest and most entrancing bird species on the planet. In one of the Costa Rica Photography series, a toucan gives you a look: one black eye staring you down as its beak descends in an elegant multi-colored arc. What wild creatures nature creates!

Whether you're captivated by Vic's lion photo gallery and other African wildlife photography, or up-close pictures of gorillas and other primates, or the fantastic colors of his Costa Rican bird pictures, checking out the World Wonders Gallery will be worth your time.
