ABOUT

We expose. The animals we eat, wear, use for entertainment, research, tradition, and work are often hidden from view, both physically and metaphorically. Unwaveringly, we use our cameras not just to look at animals but to see them and to explore how all our lives intersect with the pressing issues of our time. Our ground-breaking animal photojournalism supports the efforts of advocacy communities globally, and facilitates changes in attitudes and behaviours more broadly. We understand that seeing is a crucial part of the diverse efforts necessary to erode and eventually end the abuse of animals.

We educate. In a split second an image can show what a thousand words can’t. Alongside our images of animals, we include interviews, research, data, and stories to educate us about their sentience and our behaviours. Our work educates through campaigns, films and books, and through humane education and public presentations.

The data that backs our stories and image captions provides validity and truth to all of our work. When you share our stories or use our images and videos, you will be equipped with the information needed to spark conversation, awe, and change.

We empower. Our stock platform is a free global resource for anyone helping animals. We empower campaigners, writers, researchers, students, and activists with the visual tools they need to increase and engage their audiences.
 
While much of our work shows our fraught relationships with other animals, we also document and celebrate innovation and acts of compassion. Via our many stories of change and progress, we aim to fuel inspiration and change.
