WAYS TO COLLABORATE
I’m always looking for others who are deeply motivated to get the shot, share the story, and elevate discourse around journalism and our planet.
PUBLICATIONS
As a photographer, journalist, and explorer with strong academic roots, I tell detail-rich stories grounded in research that build connections to the past, the future, and the planet. Hire me as a photographer and journalist to uncover the story.
AGENTS + PUBLISHERS
Our night sky is vanishing, and it touches every corner of the world and every person who has ever looked up either in wonder, or wondering where the stars went. That’s why I’m currently working on my first book — Saving the Night: Shedding Light on the Importance of Darkness — and am looking for a team to help me bring it to the world.
INVESTORS FOR HIDDEN COMPASS
Concerned with the state of journalism? So are we. At Hidden Compass we’re reimagining the business of journalism and providing the antidote to clickbait and “junk food” media. We’re setting a precedent for putting the humanity of journalists and storytellers in front of a global audience and inviting the public to directly support them. We want to create a landscape where it’s profitable for media companies to advocate for their own journalists.
Currently, we’re raising a seed round to help bring Hidden Compass to a larger audience. If you’re interested in helping us further this mission, let’s connect.

LEGAL ORGANIZATIONS + PROFESSIONALS
As a former federal public defender, I understand the power of storytelling for advocacy. It’s one of the most important tools in our arsenal. That’s why I can’t stay away, and my storytelling workshops for those in the legal profession continue to attract lawyers and law students from around the country. Get on the list for my next workshop, or schedule a call to discuss bringing me into your organization to teach your team the art of storytelling.
“As a young writer, there are few experiences more valuable than working with an editor who has the talent, patience and grace to share feedback that does more than simply improve a story — it improves the way you write. I contributed a story to the winter issue of Hidden Compass, and my experience working with Sivani Babu and her team was exceptional. I am thrilled with the published piece, which was shaped by Babu's editorial prowess, but I'm even happier about how much I learned through the process. Truly, I believe that her edits made me a better writer…”
