After decades working as an international photojournalist doing assignments and commissions for partners and clients around the world, my still photography work is shifting to long-term independent projects exploring how we live on the planet and with each other through community, culture, and the diversity of human experience.
LAST WILDEST PLACE: The Purús/Manu region is one of the most isolated places in the Amazon, where threatened but still intact ecosystems provide for remote indigenous communities as well as water, oxygen, climate stability, and biological diversity for us all.
WHAT IS FOUND THERE: Over the last few years I’ve been reviewing the full history of my work, ultimately challenging the foundations of my role as a full-time international photojournalist. I have been asking hard questions about privilege and purpose, systemic supremacies, agency, authorship, art, and representation. And—if my photography can inform these concerns—how it might be deconstructed and reimagined to vitalize new possibilities in knowing an infinitely diverse yet inextricably connected world.
