Socio-environmental photography
A good photo shows what a report cannot describe.
For a socio-environmental organization, photography is evidence, memory and argument. It shows funders that the project happened, puts faces to the numbers in the report, opens campaigns and social media, and keeps the story of each territory for years to come.
Photographing this world takes more than technique. It takes knowing how to arrive in a village, a riverine community or an area in conflict, respecting people's time and understanding what is at stake. Forest photographers know the socio-environmental agenda well, love being out in nature and feel at ease in communities. That is why people appear as they are, never as scenery.
