NAMIBIA

Few places on earth reduce you to silence the way Namibia does. The dunes of Sossusvlei rise to heights that seem impossible, the Skeleton Coast stretches out cold and indifferent, and the animals move through it all as if the land belongs to them — which, in every meaningful sense, it does. This gallery brings together landscape, wildlife, and portrait work from across the country, including long-exposure astrophotography captured under some of the darkest skies in the southern hemisphere.
