Environmental Photography Projects

collection of environmental photography and visual storytelling projects exploring climate change, wildfire, drought, disappearing ice landscapes, and humanity’s relationship with the natural world. Through documentary and fine art photography, these projects examine the fragile connection between people, ecosystems, and a rapidly changing planet.

A Farewell To Ice

ongoing climate photography project exploring the fragile beauty and rapid transformation of the polar regions through fine art landscape photography and environmental storytelling. Spanning journeys from the Arctic to Antarctica, the project documents disappearing ice landscapes, shifting ecosystems, and the growing impact of climate change on some of the most remote places on Earth. Blending minimalist imagery with themes of impermanence and planetary balance, the series reflects on humanity’s relationship with a changing cryosphere. The project received the Silver Award in Fine Art/Landscape at both the Paris Photo Prize and Tokyo Foto Awards.

Albedo

Albedo is a fine art photography series exploring Antarctica’s ice landscapes through abstraction, light, and environmental storytelling. Inspired by the scientific concept of albedo—the ability of ice and snow to reflect solar radiation back into the atmosphere—the project examines the critical role polar ice plays in regulating Earth’s climate. Through minimalist compositions, fractured textures, and subtle tonal gradients, the series captures both the visual beauty and climatic fragility of a rapidly changing continent. Blending abstract landscape photography with themes of climate change and planetary balance, Albedo reflects on what is lost as Antarctica’s reflective surface slowly disappears.

Disturbance

Disturbance is an ongoing climate change photography series examining the interconnected relationship between snowpack, drought, wildfire, and the changing landscapes of the American West. Through a blend of fine art landscape photography, abstraction, and long-exposure imagery, the project explores humanity’s emotional and environmental connection to nature while documenting ecosystems increasingly shaped by climate change. Using movement, blurred time, and shifting landscapes as visual metaphors, the work explores grief, impermanence, and the slow-moving reality of the climate crisis across Colorado and the Rocky Mountains.

Water In The West

Water in the West is an ongoing climate and landscape photography project exploring the relationship between snowpack, drought, wildfire, and the changing ecosystems of Colorado and the American West. Through documentary and fine art landscape photography, the project examines how declining snowpack and rising temperatures are reshaping rivers, forests, and mountain communities that depend on winter snow as a critical water source. Focusing on themes of climate change, water scarcity, and wildfire across the Rocky Mountains, the series highlights the fragile balance between snow, landscape, and life in the West.

Biophilia

Biophilia is a conceptual photography project by Tamara Šuša exploring humanity’s innate connection to the natural world through self-portraiture, landscape photography, and environmental storytelling. Created during the Covid-19 pandemic, the series reflects on isolation, mental health, and the growing human desire to reconnect with nature during a time of uncertainty and global disruption. Blending images of the human body with wild mountain landscapes, forests, and natural textures, the project visualizes the emotional and psychological relationship between people and their environments. Inspired by the biophilia hypothesis, the work examines themes of interconnectedness, vulnerability, climate anxiety, and the fragile balance between human life and the ecosystems that sustain it.
