KC Cheng 鄭康君 is a Taiwanese American photojournalist covering how climate change exacerbates insecurity, cultural continuity within Indigenous communities, foreign aid, and outdoor adventure. She has been based in Nairobi for 4 years and uses photography as a tool for storytelling. She can be found cooking or climbing rocks in her free time and loves big landscapes.
In what ways does nature inspire or inform your work?
As an environmental photojournalist, I love how many solutions can be found in nature, through slowing down and remembering how we’re evolved to thrive and adapt to adversities.
What does it mean to you to be part of a thriving ecosystem?
It means recognizing how we are navigating our space and how none of our actions exist in isolation from the rest of our communities.
