Gab Mejia considers himself a conservation photographer. Mejia, who was recently included in the Forbes 30 Under 30 List for The Arts in Asia, got his first camera at 18. Since then, he has spent most of his waking hours taking pictures outdoors striking photos that would captivate anyone looking through his Instagram profile: mountainscapes in purple, blue and marigold, white flowers blooming along the edge of a marsh, and the red-orange tarp where Kali, the last captive bred tamaraw, lay after her passing. Though he says, “I don’t want these stories to just be on an Instagram feed. but something that can reach and educate others about the importance of these places that we document.”
