Alligator #0023 — BayouSelf Wildlife Archive

In the slow, dark waters of the Louisiana bayou, Alligator #0023 holds its ground — patient, primal, and perfectly at home. This high-resolution field photograph captures a singular encounter with one of the bayou's most iconic residents, preserved in full detail from snout to tail.

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 stands alone as a record of one creature, one moment, one truth of the bayou.
