Inside Sweden’s Dairy Industry

Inside Sweden’s Dairy Industry

In 2025, Djurrättsalliansen, a Swedish animal rights organization, documented Sweden’s dairy industry with photojournalist Noah Marsten. The visuals were used in a subway campaign, directly highlighting the gap between idyllic imagery and everyday reality.
The Fish Behind the Festivities

The Fish Behind the Festivities

Every autumn in Czechia, a seasonal ritual unfolds across the countryside. Large fish ponds are drained, nets are pulled tight, and thousands of fish are lifted from the water. These annual traditional pond harvests are part work, part public event. We Animals photojournalist, Lukas Vincour documented the spectacle.
Brazil’s Meat Machine, Up Close

Brazil’s Meat Machine, Up Close

On assignment with World Animal Protection Brazil, in 2024, We Animals photojournalist Vincenzo Ricci documented the hidden side of Brazil’s livestock industry. The focus on that imbalance is currently going global. With COP30 happening in Belém, agriculture is at the heart of the climate agenda, and Brazil’s meat lobby is front and centre.
