I’ve always been drawn to the story of Pompeii. It’s so easy to just focus on the sheer destructive power of the volcano, but what’s always stuck with me are the human stories preserved in the ash—the everyday moments frozen in time.
That’s why I’m genuinely excited for this new Nat Geo show. It’s not just about the disaster, but about the people who lived through it, and even those who survived. It’s a perspective I think we don’t hear about nearly enough. In my own nature photography, I’m constantly humbled by the force and scale of the world around us, and Pompeii is the ultimate example of that. I can’t wait to learn more about the stories of resilience that came out of such an incredible event.
#PompeiiOutOfTime with @twhiddleston premieres July 22 on @NatGeoTV. Streaming on @DisneyPlus and @hulu.
