Stories

Photo essays from the field.

Longer-form documentary work. Each story is built around one species, one place, or one question — reported over weeks or months, and then written the same way.

The Last Matriarch

Amboseli, Kenya

The Last Matriarch

Following a fifty-year-old elephant leading her family across a shrinking corridor.

Silent Cathedrals

Península Valdés, Argentina

The Mountains Remember

Ladakh, India

The Mountains Remember

Tracking the elusive snow leopard through the Himalayan rain shadow.

Local rangers, who have never left this valley, describe the leopard the same way their grandmothers did — as a ghost that decides when to be seen.
