ABOUT

I’m Laura Ziff, a 71-year-old photographer who has spent more than fifty years behind the camera, traveling through over one hundred countries to document what endures — the wild, the human, and the land where they meet.

From lions on the African plains to monks in the Himalayas and storm-lit deserts from Namibia to Chile, my lens has followed the patterns of resilience that connect us. My work moves between three worlds — Wild Things, Silence, and Existence — revealing how nature, humanity, and landscape overlap, depend on, and define one another.

Together, they tell one story — that the world remains wild, beautiful, and worth witnessing.

I began my travels with a film camera at seventeen on a trip to Greece and never stopped. Over the decades, curiosity has sharpened into reverence. Age hasn’t dulled my vision — it’s refined it. The chase for the perfect shot has given way to respect for impermanence: the crooked line, the fading light, the moment that resists perfection.

Photography, for me, isn’t about capturing the world. It’s about understanding my place in it.
