Patrick Brown (@patrickbrownphoto) has spent the past decade documenting the illicit animal trade around the world. His focus shifted from photographing dancers 12 years ago when he was asked to take photos for "Black Market," a book documenting the trade of endangered species in Asia. "The book was completed in 18 months, but I knew I had only started to scratch the surface of this incredibly complex subject." When Patrick's photography later won an award, the prize money gave him the freedom to continue his work on the subject.

Patrick's work is collected in a new book called "Trading to Extinction," the goal of which is to stir people to action. "This is important not to me but to the subjects I photograph," says Patrick, who turned to Instagram to give his photos greater exposure. "There are a lot of people that won't be able to get a copy of my book, but with Instagram I can quite literally touch tens of thousands of people. It's a very powerful tool."
