Guest Presenter: Gabriel DeLoach

Photos by Steve Winter and Gabe DeLoach




Gabriel DeLoach is an artist, photographer, film-maker, and traveler extraordinaire who has devoted both his artistic and professional practice to documenting the world he experiences, in both rural America to the wild jungles of Brazil. DeLoach will present his work as both an independent photographer and film-maker, as well as an assistant to Steve Winter, a renowned photographer for National Geographic magazine, in class this Thursday. DeLoach currently lives in Charlottesville, Virginia, but has recently traveled to Brazil and India to photograph wild cats, namely jaguars and tigers in an effort to help the organization Panthera protect and research these cats in the wild. Experts predict that there may only be 4,000 wild cats left in existence, making DeLoach's work critical for their survival.

Here are a couple of links to help you get a sense of his work. Take a look at his work, read about the stories on the blog, and come to class Thursday with questions!
