Photography that tells the stories nature cannot tell herself.
A note from the field
I photograph the natural world at the exact moment it needs a witness. My work sits at the intersection of documentary, science, and reverence — because the species and ecosystems I follow deserve nothing less.

The issues I return to
Conservation
Human–Wildlife Conflict
Shared land, shared costs.
As habitats shrink and human populations expand, more communities find themselves at the sharp end of coexistence with large mammals — carnivores, elephants, primates. The path forward is neither fortress conservation nor open landscape, but a slower, community-led rebalancing.
Conservation
Ocean Plastics
What the tide brings back.
Eleven million tonnes of plastic enter the ocean every year. It appears again in the stomachs of seabirds, in the tissue of whales, and in the seafood on our plates.
Conservation
Habitat Loss
The quiet emergency.
Habitat destruction is the single greatest driver of biodiversity collapse. It is also the least photogenic — which is exactly why it needs to be photographed well.
Conservation
Endangered Primates
Our closest kin, and their last strongholds.
Mountain gorillas are one of the rare conservation success stories of the last decade. What made it work — and can it be repeated for the species we haven't saved yet?

In their words
“Lorraine is that rare photographer whose images move the conservation conversation forward instead of merely decorating it. Her work sits with the science, not on top of it.”
“There is no drama in her frames — only truth, quietly, at exactly the right moment. That is the hardest thing to do in this field.”
