Photography

Background: I have photographed as an assignment photographer for National Geographic (Gelada Monkeys Feature and Proof, Conservation Drones, Northernmost Flower), BBC Natural History Unit, and published photos and video in Wired, GEO, The Atlantic, and in several news outlets and television series.

Honors: In 2017, my work was shown at Visa pour l'image: International Festival of Photojournalism at Perpignan and was winner of the Banff Mountain Film - Mountain Photo Essay Grand Prize, and category prizes and honorable mentions at Por el Planeta, Mexico City, various science photography events.

In 2018 I returned as a judge for the Banff Mountain Film - Mountain Photo Essay Competition.

Books: I edited and wrote book exploring perspective, geography, pattern, and ingenuity through photography called World From Above, released by National Geographic. It is out now and available online and at bookstores worldwide.

Photo Galleries: Telluride Mountain Film Festival, Banff Mountain Film Festival, Dickey Center For International Understanding (Dartmouth College), "The altruism dilemma" Trento Science Museum, Italy, and others.

Talks: I deliver photo talks on wildlife and science to diverse audiences and venues, with past presentations at National Geographic Headquarters in Washington DC (Explorer’s Festival and Nat Geo Nights), the Telluride Mountain Film Festival, the Northern Ireland Science Festival, as well as being a keynote speaker at Photofest 2019 in San Miguel, Mexico, the Natural History Museum of Denmark (2022), and the plenary at the ESRI User Conference (2024) in San Diego in front of a 10,000+ live audience, among others.

Virtual Reality: With support from the National Geographic Society and Meridian Treehouse, I co-produced an extended reality (XR) experience to reveal climate change impacts on Qikiqtaruk-Herschel Island in Arctic Canada, to share the perspectives of a Yukon Parks ranger and a climate change scientists, and to promote accessibility to this culturally and environmentally threatened Arctic island.
