Socotra is a Yemeni island (and archipelago of the same name) located in the Indian Ocean, known for its unique and endemic flora and fauna. It is home to over 700 species of plants and animals that are found nowhere else in the world, including the Dragon's Blood Tree and the Socotra Desert Rose (Bottle Tree). The island also has a rich cultural heritage, with a mix of Arab and African influences.
I visited Socotra in March, led by a desire to photograph this exceptionally unique and beautiful place, and to learn more about it through experience and connection.
The Dragon's Blood Tree is perhaps the most iconic of Socotra's many endemic species, an extraordinary tree that can live for 600 years. The tree is easily recognizable, with branches that fork outward and give it a mushroom-like appearance. It grows in the mountainous areas on the island, and produces a bright red sap, hence its name.
For two nights, we camped among these amazing trees. On the second of these magical nights, I walked away from the lights of our campsite around 3AM in search of a singular tree to illuminate under the stars. After some experimentation, I captured the Milky Way under this massive tree as dawn creeped in. The colors remind me of a rainbow... something I pondered as I drifted off for a nap under the tree as the sun began to rise.
About the Image
For the first time, I am offering artist editions.
I created these for collectors, photography enthusiasts, and those who would like the highest quality prints to display in their space.
Each print is signed, dated by year, and editioned on the back in graphite. Photos are printed on Hahnemuhle PhotoRag Satin– a paper I chose for its delicate texture and sense of depth it gives the images.
Photos are printed by Thomas Editions in Los Angeles, and come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
I hope these pieces will give you a sense wonder for years to come.
