Telling their stories

Bringing visibility to hidden animals worldwide through compelling photo and videojournalism.

We Animals Media partners with NGOs, journalists, policy-makers, educators and individuals to tell the stories of animals in the human environment — those used for food, fashion, entertainment, work, religion, and experimentation. Our network of photographers and filmmakers are available for assignments worldwide. Learn more about how to work with us here.

HIDDEN: Animals in the Anthropocene

We Animals Media’s first publication, HIDDEN: Animals in the Anthropocene (2020) is an unflinching book of photography documenting our relationship with non-human animals in the 21st century, as depicted through the lenses of 40 award-winning photojournalists.

Apply to be a Fellow

We are now accepting applications for the second annual Animal Photojournalism Fellowship until March 31. 

Guided by Founder and Photojournalist Jo-Anne McArthur and the We Animals Media team, the Fellowship will support one Fellow to cover a photo story about animals used for food, a subject significantly underreported in the media.

Celebrating Women in Animal Photojournalism

Celebrating Women in Animal Photojournalism

For International Women’s Day, we're putting the focus on women in animal photojournalism and celebrating the hard work of women around the globe who are leading the charge for animals with a camera in hand.

A LOOK AT WHAT WE DO

“This is my world. Join me as I climb transport trucks, and stay quietly and diligently with animals as they go to slaughter. Join me in the dusty roads and at my little hotel room editing desk, as Miguel and I discuss animals, animal photojournalism and, ultimately, kindness.”

Moving Animals is a powerful short film about Jo-Anne McArthur’s documentation of the long-distance transport of animals, shot and produced by filmmaker Miguel Endara.
