Photography makes environmental changes visible that are difficult to recognize in everyday life. James Balog, Founder and Director of the Earth Vision Institute, describes his shift from celebrating nature’s beauty to documenting how human activity reshapes the planet. His photographs range from endangered wildlife and towering trees to mines, wildfires, and the atmosphere above Earth. Through the Extreme Ice Survey, Balog uses time-lapse cameras to show glaciers retreating over time, making climate change visible through recorded images. Drawing on his work and the films Chasing Ice and The Human Element, he examines the connections between people, land, air, water, and ice. Balog also considers society’s reliance on fossil fuels and the possibility of constructive environmental action. His images show why these changes matter to people and future generations.
