Adam Oswell

Natural History/ Conservation Photographer

This is my website, my main portal to the world. My name is Adam Oswell. I have other platforms like instagram, facebook and youtube where I share stories and journeys but this is where you can see some of my current and historical work, connect with me and purchase prints. I am an award winning natural history and conservation photojournalist and artist specialising in wildlife conservation and protection issues and I’m super passionate about my art and the natural world we live in. I work out of my studios in Thailand and Australia where I am based.

My work has appeared in a wide range of media including Geographical, TIME, Science, Mongabay, The Guardian, Getty Images, Bloomberg, and National Geographic and has been exhibited at the Leica Gallery London, the World Economic Forum Davos, f³–Freiraum für Fotografie Berlin, Visa pour l'Image festival Perpignan and the Natural History Museum London.

In 2021 I was awarded Wildlife Photographer of the Year for photojournalism.

I have contributed to productions with the BBC, ABC Australia, the Natural Capital Project/NASA, Off the Fence Productions, Icon Films, the World Conservation Union (IUCN), Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), TRAFFIC, WWF International, Humane Society International, the United Nations Development Program and many others. I’m a contributing photographer to the books 'Photographers Against Wildlife Crime' and 'HIDDEN-Animals in the Anthropocene.'

In 2005 I produced 'Black Market-Inside the Endangered Species Trade in Asia,' with an introduction by Jane Goodall, the first publication of its kind to extensively document international wildlife trafficking.

I am also a contributor to the WWF-Canon Photo Database and have documented illegal wildlife trafficking for over 25 years. Im currently documenting snow leopard conservation programs in the Altai mountains of western Mongolia and working on a very special project in collaboration with the incredible Jane Goodall and other remarkable people who care deeply about wildlife and protecting the worlds last wild places. Many thanks for dropping in and being a supporter. I hope my work can make change and inspire.
