Photographer Spotlight: Ashnee Gounden
Growing up in South Africa, I dreamed of exploring the wild, and my love for animals kept me watching every National Geographic episode I could find. I never really had the chance to travel around my own country, and it wasn’t until I moved to the US ten years ago and started exploring national parks that I picked up a camera. I focus on wildlife, and photography has become my way of capturing the moments that make me pause and truly appreciate the beauty of the wild places around us. There’s nothing I’d rather be doing in my spare time, and I love being able to share that wonder with others.
