Check out Art Wolfe’s Q3 Photos from Peru, Alaska and the American West!


What a whirlwind the third quarter of 2025 has been! September found me in the Durango region of Colorado, where the aspens were at their golden best and every mountainside seemed to shimmer with fall color. There’s something magical about photographing autumn light in the Rockies. The challenge is keeping up with it. Prior to that, I was immersed in the salty breeze of the California coast, where we spent time exploring the wildlife-rich waters of Elkhorn Slough. Sea otters floated by with effortless charm, pelicans skimmed low over the waves, and harbor seals lazed in the sun—each encounter a reminder of the diversity that thrives along this stretch of coastline.

Back in August, along with my annual pilgrimage to Katmai to photograph the bears there, I visited Peru, a place that never fails to inspire. In Lima, I turned my lens toward the city’s textures, colors, and the patterns of daily life in the form of abstracts. Then it was into the wild heart of the country, photographing tamarins leaping through the canopy, macaws painting the sky in bursts of color, and the deep, resonant calls of howler monkeys echoing through the rainforest.

Each stop offered something different—a study in light, life, and the beautiful unpredictability of nature. Enjoy the photos, and have a fantastic holiday season!

iLCP Prints for the Planet Begins Today!

is November, my friends at the International League of Conservation Photographers are celebrating twenty years of using photography to protect the planet with a special anniversary print sale called Prints for the Planet. From November 6 through the 27th, you’ll be able to choose from 113 fine art prints by some of the world’s leading conservation photographers. It’s a great chance to own a meaningful piece of art while supporting the future of conservation storytelling.

For two decades, iLCP photographers have been out in the field capturing the beauty and urgency of our natural world, from endangered species and wild places to the people working hard to protect them. This collection brings together more than a hundred of those powerful images, and I’m honored that a few of my own photographs will be part of it.

iLCP was founded on the idea that photography can make a difference, and it’s amazing to see how that vision continues to grow. If you’re looking for a holiday gift that supports a good cause and celebrates the beauty of our planet, take a look at Prints for the Planet and help keep this important work moving forward.
