entry description
Every time I look into the eyes of a primate, I see human characteristics. This young baboon, photographed in Zambia's Lower Zambezi National Park in June 2019, looks like a human toddler sucking his thumb in a moment of sudden shyness.about the photographer
Multimedia journalist and storyteller focused on travel and wildlife conservation. My written work has appeared in two books and a wide range of top-tier American and British magazines and newspapers. My photography often appears alongside my digital articles, and I regularly publish them on my social media channels. I also work with conservation charities as a communications consultant and have been hired for a range of projects, from photographing a biodiversity survey in Mozambique to editing annual reports. In 2016, I graduated from the University of Cambridge with a masters of philosophy in conservation leadership, where I wrote my dissertation on "conservation storytelling," and am now based in London.back to gallery
