Sentinels

Captured in Uganda, this image portrays a group of birds perched on a lone, weathered tree — an unassuming yet powerful monument rising above the savanna. “Sentinels” is a visual meditation on presence — on what it means to stand watch in the midst of vastness.

About Artist

Janelle Nightingale

I’m Janelle Nightingale, a global communications strategist and visual storyteller based in the U.S. Through my lens, I explore themes of resilience, place, and human connection. Whether documenting in rural Oklahoma or tree planting in rural Uganda, my work honors the beauty of everyday acts and the legacy they leave behind. I use photography as a tool for empathy and global narrative — blending structure with spontaneity, grit with grace. My imagery focuses on the emotional textures of life: color, light, weather, and stillness, woven together to amplify stories often left in quiet.
