Photographer Captures the Fascinating World From Dusk to Dawn

What were some of your favorite moments, photographing in the dark?

There are so many. Photographing festivals involving fire and alcohol is always fascinating and unpredictable, but sometimes it’s just a small moment that stands out. While out on a night shoot in Kenya, we had a beautiful, sinuous serval follow us. Was the vehicle we were in flushing out small game for the cat? Who knows. Our driver would move a bit forward as would the cat and so on.

I think the oldest photo in the book is one of the most meaningful to me: base camp at Everest. In 1984 I was part of the Ultima Thule expedition attempting Mount Everest from the Tibetan side. I had one of my fellow mountaineers run with a flashlight from tent to tent, illuminating them under the great peak that was illuminated by moonlight.
