Abstract: How can photography challenge anthropocentrism and contribute to the decolonization process for animals? The first part of this article offers two historical examples of photography’s colonial ties to hunting, and explains the harm done to animals through linking cameras and guns. The second part of this article focuses on three contemporary photographers dedicated to challenging anthropocentrism, and discusses how their work engages in decolonization as a process. The analysis and the examples presented in this article will help us to work toward a more just, peaceful, and inclusive world for all; human and nonhuman alike.
