James Balog
Photograph by Svavar JonatonssonFor over 25 years, James Balog has consistently broken new ground in the art of photographing
nature. Famed Time photographer James Nacthwey wrote about Balog’s images, “Each new series represents a quantum leap in creativity, which takes us deeper into the ultimate mystery of humanity’s relationship to the natural world.” A few years ago, Balog launched the Extreme Ice Survey, documenting the rapid changes in the Earth’s glaciers due to global warming. The compelling images captured by the survey’s cameras were published in National Geographic and in Balog’s 2008 book, Extreme Ice Now, and the project was featured in a recent PBS television special.
Returning from his latest season of fieldwork, Balog presents dramatic new images of our planet in flux, and delivers an eloquent and empowering testimony to the reality of climate change, inspiring his audience to make a difference.
