Nine Lives: One Photographer, Nine Persecuted Species

Paul Goldstein has spent many years at the business end of a camera trying for that elusive ‘impossible shot’. For him, though, his images are just a gateway to highlighting the plight of the Nine Lives species he so treasures. He has spent years putting his body through often tortuous pain to raise money for them, and his images are underwritten frequently by rage at humanity’s savage injustices to the animal kingdom. His campaigns frequently get him into trouble and yet he would have it no other way. He is a multi-award winning photographer, and as a guide has few equals and a massive following, yet his style is not for everybody and as he gets older his impatience grows with the inaction and corruption of those supposed to be protecting the species he values so much.
