Deanna Deshea

With a foundation in fine art, I’ve traveled solo across Africa as a female photographer—not in search of flawless images, but to tell deeper stories: of extinction, of fleeting beauty, and the urgent call to protect what endures.

Through my lens, I create still images that speak softly yet powerfully—portraits of raw, instinctual lives moving through dust and dusk.

My work is shaped by my art education and rooted in stillness: negative space, muted monochrome, and earth-toned echoes that mirror the breath and silence of the natural world.

This is more than art—it’s a love letter to the wild,
a call to protect what’s left.

Through my lens, I stand with the voiceless— against trophy hunts, against cages, against the slow fade of species disappearing before our eyes.

I share stories that ask us to pause, to feel—
and to remember:
we belong to the wild,
not apart from it.
