Devil’s Den by @Environment_Art

Britain is a real treasure-trove when it comes to prehistoric monuments. Devil’s Den is one example of this rich heritage. Forming part of the same mega complex with Avebury Stone Circle, Stonehenge, Silbury Hill and West Kennet Long Barrow, Devil’s Den is a powerful site full of energy, which is difficult to find and even…

KINGLEY VALE @WoodlandTrust by @Environment_Art

Another exciting project within the ARCADIA series has been a shoot at the Kingley Vale, a National Nature Reserve and a Site of Special Scientific Interest. It has been set up by Sir Arthur Tansley, the famous author of the term ‘ecosystem’. Kingley Vale is the site of the largest remaining yew tree forest in…

BURNHAM BEECHES by @Environment_Art

During the turbulent pandemic years I managed to devote a considerable amount of time to photography working on a new series provisionally entitled ‘ARCADIA’. With obvious mythological annotations, it was an attempt to escape intro the wild natural setting and forget about the troubles of the real world. We will start our visual journal with…

By the sheer coincidence my image that was chosen for the exhibition is also forming a…

Not only does the film shock and inform about the current state of affairs with waste around the world,…

New Photography from Nepal

I am fascinated to be able to share my recent photographic notes from a trip to Nepal. Seeing magnificent mountains towering over ancient Rhododendron forests, some of which reach 7000m and even 8000m has been a tremendously enriching experience: https://www.flickr.com/photos/environmentalartist/with/35146903145/. We reached the height of 4000m and saw a magnificent and sacred Machapuchare, that nobody…

The Story of Pulau Redang

My photography has always been inspired by the interdisciplinary discourse of ecological economics and contemporary environmental thought. Both of these areas constitute a significant part of my professional life and therefore for me the practice of photography and ecological economics are very much intertwined. Ever since the publication of ‘Limits to Growth’, the economists, social…
