PROFILE
ILLUSTRATION BY RACHEL IDZERDA
It’s rare to encounter someone who can describe their life’s mission in five words. Even more unusual is the ability to trace that mission across 40 years on the page and screen. British Columbia anthropologist Wade Davis – who is also a renowned photographer, ethnobotanist, author, filmmaker, and former National Geographic explorer-in-residence – has always been driven to “celebrate the wonder of culture.” With the October release of Wade Davis: Photographs, his dedication to changing how we view and value human culture comes alive in 150 colour images.
