Portrait of Lorraine Carneiro

About

The frame is a fragment. The rest of the story is the work.

Lorraine Carneiro is a wildlife, environmental, and conservation photographer whose work explores the relationship between people, place, and the more-than-human world. She has photographed on four continents, contributing to publications, NGOs, and long-form documentary projects on threatened species and shifting ecosystems.

Her practice sits between documentary and fine art — grounded in the science, rendered with restraint. She is a long-time collaborator with conservation organisations working on human-wildlife coexistence, marine mammal recovery, and community-led habitat protection.

01

Nature before ego

The photograph is a tool. The animal, the ecosystem, and the community come first. Always.

02

Evidence-based

Every story is reviewed against the science and, wherever possible, alongside the researchers doing the work.

03

No shortcuts

No baited shots. No captive subjects presented as wild. No image that misrepresents the conditions under which it was made.
