I’m honoured to introduce: The Cryophilia Project (@cryophilia_project) - Documenting vanishing ice around the globe. Ever since I started in photography I have been fascinated by ice as a subject. Through extensive explorations at the high latitudes and cold parts of the planet, I've repeatedly marvelled at how ice can display an infinite array of textures, present ever-changing shades of blue and white, and interact with light in countless ways. Ice is never the same. In the face of that fact, I feel both a fascination and heartache. It seems we’re only decades, maybe even a decade, away from some of this ice disappearing altogether. Some of the ice featured in my photographs taken just a few years ago is already gone. With rising temperatures, we risk the melting of our polar regions and our world’s glaciers. The implications of this are well-researched and documented. Beyond the long-term human and environmental consequences of melting ice, for me, the loss of these frozen landscapes also signifies the loss of a unique, powerful experience. My calling as an artist is to continue to celebrate and document ice before it vanishes, with a focus on the aesthetics of glacial, lake and iceberg ice. Icescapes are among the most dynamic, exciting, and fascinating locations a photographer can hope to document. It is a privilege to be able to bring the beauty and mystery of those foreign, enchanting worlds to others.
