James Lewin’s photography of rhinos is a striking blend of artistry and advocacy, capturing these powerful yet endangered animals with a sense of dignity and vulnerability. Working in black and white with large-format film, Lewin emphasizes the raw texture of rhino skin, the weight of their presence, and the quiet tension of their existence in the wild. His images often convey a deep stillness - moments where these ancient creatures seem almost sculptural against the African landscape. At a time when rhino populations face devastating threats from poaching and habitat loss, Lewin’s work serves as both a tribute and a visual call to action, reminding viewers of what stands to be lost.
