Bathed in golden morning light, a female Dingo pup moves through the rippled sands of Kudnarri (Cooper Creek, South Australia) which often reaches 50°c+. Kinthala Yampa, as she’s known in Dieri language, pauses—ears pricked, eyes locked, muscles taut. The lens captures her raw power and delicate curiosity, the perfect balance of predator and survivor. Australia’s largest land apex predator, effectively our own Wolf, she rules this arid world as one of a handful of Dingo eco-types, reading every shift in the wind, every sound in the silence. In this fleeting moment, the wild watches back.
