Picturing the environment

Photographs dealing with some of the most important issues of our time will be on display from 30 May 2008 at the Apothecary Gallery, West London.
The 2007 Environmental Photographer of the Year exhibition selects images that are 'traditional, resonant, contemporary, creative, subversive and beautiful'.

The images examine issues such as poverty, climate change, human rights, leisure, culture, biodiversity, natural disasters and unsustainable population growth.

Together they aim to enhance our understanding of the causes, consequences and solutions to climate change.
Competition entries were judged on impact, creativity, composition, originality and technical abilities, by environmental photographers including Gary Braasch, winner of the Ansel Adams Award for Conservation Photography, Anthony Epes and Ronnie Israel.

The 2007 Environmental Photographer of the Year exhibition runs from 30 May until 18 July 2008 and is part of CIWEM’s Arts and Environment initiative.
