Alligator #0022 — BayouSelf Wildlife Archive

Somewhere between the cypress roots and the still black water, Alligator #0022 waits. This high-resolution field photograph captures the quiet menace and natural grace of a wild Louisiana alligator — unposed, unhurried, and entirely in its element.

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. Every entry is numbered, documented in the field, and added to a growing catalog of encounters with one of North America's most enduring apex predators.

Frame it, print it large, or collect it digitally — Alligator #0022 carries the weight and stillness of the Louisiana bayou wherever it goes.
