Alligator #0013 — BayouSelf Wildlife Archive

Alligator #0013 — BayouSelf Wildlife Archive

The Louisiana bayou has a way of revealing itself slowly — and then all at once. Alligator #0013 was one of those moments. Photographed in the wild wetlands, this high-resolution field image captures a mature American alligator in its element: deliberate, powerful, and entirely unbothered by the world around it.

Part of the BayouSelf 1,000 Alligators Archive, a long-form documentary photography project dedicated to capturing one thousand individual wild alligators across Louisiana’s wetlands. Each image is a numbered field record — one creature, one moment, one truth of the bayou.

About the Archive

The BayouSelf Wildlife Archive is an ongoing photographic record of Louisiana’s wild alligator population — from hatchlings to giants. Every entry is numbered, documented in the field, and added to a growing catalog of one of North America’s most enduring apex predators.

Deliberate, powerful, and perfectly at home — Alligator #0013 is a high-resolution piece of the Louisiana wild, ready to print, frame, or collect.
