After a life-changing encounter with endangered Greater Adjutant storks in Northeastern India, former comedic ventriloquist Carla Rhodes switched gears and dedicated her creative energy to conservation photography. With work published in the New York Times, the Guardian, and more, Carla’s nontraditional path to helping elevate wildlife through the art form of photography inspires people to chase their wildest dreams.
Conservation photographer Carla Rhodes tells visual tales of the natural world, focusing on the overlooked and misunderstood. From endangered storks to everyday moths, her work is a testament to the beauty found in the unexpected.
Her journey, once rooted in the realms of comedic ventriloquism, now flourishes in the wild, capturing images that inspire and educate. Skillfully morphing her narrative craft from the stages’ spotlight to the boundless theater of the wilderness, she is truly a wild storyteller, unveiling the hidden narratives of the unsung heroes of the wild.
Published in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Guardian, and more, Carla's images challenge perspective while encouraging a deep appreciation of our shared environment.
