Britta Jaschinski

Britta Jaschinski is a German-born, UK-based photographer renowned for her stark, intimate, and often haunting images of animals in captivity, most notably in zoos and aquariums. Her work critically examines the relationship between humans and wild animals, exposing the psychological and physical toll of captivity through shadow-laden, black-and-white imagery. She is widely regarded as one of the most influential photographers working in the field of wildlife and conservation photography, and her seminal book 'Zoo' (1996) brought her international recognition.
