Eventually, his family immigrated to the United States, where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in Sociology from the University of California at Berkeley, then received a master's degree in Fine Arts from California State University at Sacramento. Inspiration and careerHis first calling to adventure travel photography came in 1976, during a four-month trip through Japan, northern India, Nepal and Sikkim. In Nepal, Miglavs was one of the first to be allowed into the Muktinath / Mustang area on the border with Tibet. The warm-hearted people, the immense mountainous landscapes and the monks who taught him about Yoga and Tibetan Buddhism expanded his inner vision of the world. Miglavs went on to photograph and write for publications, including National Geographic, Travel & Leisure, Sunset and National Wildlife, traveling through more than 30 countries over 25 years. His commercial clients include Hewlett Packard, Deloitte & Touche, 7-11, Sheraton Hotels, Oregon Tourism, PGE and Nikon. Personal projectsMiglavs is developing and exhibiting the photo documentary Africa’s Undiscovered Myths & Archetypal Dreams. This aims to document the stories of Africa’s most remote indigenous tribes and to create photo illustrations from descriptions by chiefs, shamans, witch doctors and tribal elders. AwardsMiglavs has created two books related to the wine industry. The most recent, Oregon: The Taste of Wine,[3] won two awards, including the Benjamin Franklin Gold Medal[4] for Best Regional book, and one of four finalists in the Gourmand World Book Awards for “Best Book on New World Wine.”[5] Work from his Africa’s Undiscovered Myths Project has been seen throughout the United States including at the United Nations,[6] the Longview Museum of Fine Arts,[7] and Portland State University.[8] References1. ^Africa's Undiscovered Myths Project on Blue Earth Alliance 2. ^Jānis Miglavs' Chinese Winery Photography 3. ^[https://www.amazon.com/Oregon-Taste-Wine-Janis-Miglavs/dp/0882407465 Oregon: The Taste of Wine] on Amazon.com 4. ^Independent Book Publishers Association Benjamin Franklin 2009 Awards {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090612211729/http://www.ibpa-online.org/pubresources/benfrank2009_Winners.aspx |date=2009-06-12 }} 5. ^Gourmand World Cookbook Award {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090706052914/http://www.cookbookfair.com/html/paris_july_1_2009.html |date=2009-07-06 }} 6. ^Article Referencing United Nations showing 7. ^Jānis Miglavs' work at the Longview Museum of Fine Arts 8. ^Article Referencing Miglavs' PSU Showing External links
