Wild Visions: Wilderness as Image and Idea
by Ben A Minteer, Mark Klett and Stephen J. Pyne
Foreword by Roderick Frazier Nash
Yale University Press
I’m happy to have work from Littoral Drift in Wild Visions, a book distinctive in its union of landscape photography and environmental thought, a merging of short, thematic essays with a striking visual narrative. Often, the wild is viewed in binary terms: either revered as sacred and ecologically pure or dismissed as spoiled by human activities. This book portrays wilderness instead as an evolving gamut of understandings, a collage of views and ideas that is still in process.
Sasha Wolf interviewed me for Photo Work, where we talked about Ice and my work leading up to it. Have a listen if you’d like to learn more about what I do!

The Photograph As Contemporary Art
Charlotte Cotton
Thames & Hudson
In the twenty-first century, photography has come of age as a contemporary art form. Almost two centuries after photographic technology was first invented, the art world has fully embraced it as a legitimate medium, equal in status to painting and sculpture. The Photograph as Contemporary Art introduces the extraordinary range of contemporary art photography, from portraits of intimate life to highly staged directorial spectacles. I am so honored to be in the 4th edition of this paramount text.

Element
Yoffy Press
Available for preorder now
Element features Matthew Brandt, Chris McCaw and Meghann Riepenhoff. Allowing natural elements to inform and influence the image, these artists move beyond the camera to explore the relationship between the image and the environment. In response to our work, Jon Mooallem writes, “We are living in a moment when the kind of rigid and meticulous order-making that I’ve always fallen back on has started to feel quixotic and futile, or even destructive sometimes—when it seems necessary to pick apart the rules and conventions we take for granted and evaluate which ones are elemental and which are merely habit. I’ll be here: listening and thinking through all of it, shaking my fist, relearning how to speak.”

The fear of the void is here, as well as the gorgeousness of the exhaustive and visceral experience of nature.” -Fredric Koepel, The Commercial Appeal
