Black Tigers: Behind the First Photographs

In this Storytelling for Change session, Prasen Yadav—a molecular ecologist turned National Geographic Photographer & Explorer—shares his journey from science to storytelling. “A great story has multiple ingredients. It’s about creating narratives that people are excited to hear, yet don’t know what will happen next. A story should resonate with the audience and feel fresh, something they haven’t encountered before. My background in both science and natural history, combined with a passion for wildlife, has guided me in crafting these stories.” Prasenjeet is one of the few photographers who integrates scientific research deeply into his visual narratives. His recent project focused on documenting pseudo-melanistic tigers in India’s Similipal Tiger Reserve—a rare population known for their striking dark patterns. Using camera traps, he succeeded in photographing these elusive tigers, a story later featured by National Geographic.

Timeless Rediscovery

“I knew I wanted my camera to be my passport—to see and experience the world as much as possible. To use it as a way to glimpse different cultures and geographies, to learn, understand, and connect with the stories that shape our shared humanity.” In this episode, Pia Harboure shares her project Time Doesn’t Seem to Freeze Here Anymore, an ongoing documentary essay that explores human achievement and exploration at the intersection of tourism, science, and the unexpected.

On This Sand (Together) A conversation in memory of Jenny Irene Miller

On This Sand (Together) is a conversation in memory of Jenny Irene Miller, an Inupiaq storyteller from Nome, Alaska. She reflects on Uinñaataavik, her family’s fish camp, and the deep bonds between land, water, and community — and asks how we tell the story of a place when that place is gone. This story is shared in loving memory of Jenny Irene, who left this Earth too soon. This work was made through our Revolutionary Storyteller Program.

A Place in Time with River Whittle

Join Photographers Without Borders as we discuss queer Indigenous perspective in photography on this episode of Storytelling for Change. River is a two-spirit Caddo, Lenape, and white artist and youth-worker. Their work consists of collage, photography, videography, beading, and they are learning how to be in relationship with Caddo pottery. River understands photography as a place in time together, a little room to help a friend, a relative, an elder, feel seen, beautiful or listened to. It's about moment-making and reflection, comfort and co-creation. When thinking about erasure of Native peoples on our own lands, combined with the persistent invisibility of queer Indigenous people even within our own communities, this work feels important considering community-health, language, and storytelling. Ultimately, River just wants their art to make a path for the youth and the ancestors to be whatever they want to be, whatever they always wanted to be.
