About Artist
Juan Camilo Mora
Colombian biologist, expedition leader, educator and UW photographer. My passion for nature began early and has only deepened with time. Through photography, I’ve found a way to speak for the voiceless, using my camera to raise awareness, educate, and inspire a deeper connection with the natural world. From the ocean’s depths to remote wild places, I aim to tell stories that matter, stories that protect, awaken, and honor life.
