Iván Macías | Cover | With camera in hand I began to learn in a completely self-taught way all the technical aspects, gene- rating content in constant evolu- tion and with great variety, a year later I started to make collabora- tions for magazines like Time Out México, which allowed me to con- tinue expanding my knowledge. After that I started experimenting with different types of photography such as landscape, urban, portrait and drone. All this has helped me to have a better understanding of the art and is heling my to generate my own style.

Garth Lenz | The true cost of oil | Garth Lenz is an editorial and fine art photographer based on the west coast of Canada. Though originally trained as a classical pianist, Lenz turned to his other lifelong passion, photography, shortly after completing his bachelor’s degree in Piano Performance. While global deforestation and the world’s old growth forests were major focuses in Lenz’s early work, in recent years, much of Lenz’s photography has centered around the world of fossil fuel production, climate change, and their associated impacts on the natural environment. Throughout his entire career, the contrast between the industrial and the natural landscape has remained a central theme in Lenz’s work. Lenz often photographs from the air as a means to communicate the unprecedented scale of industrialism ́s environmental impact as well as to document remaining areas of large intact ecosystems.

Steve Geer | Discarded | I grew up, tall and skinny, in England, absorbed by the two passions of my youth, photography and natural science. These pursuits have something in common – they both require imagination.  At University I studied physics and became a scientist. For a time photography took a back seat. It was the thing I did on vacation. After working as a research scientist for a few years in Switzerland, I transplanted myself to the United States and ended up in Chicago. Then came the digital revolution and I began selling my images as stock photographs. This was exciting but as time went on I became less interested in producing images that sold by the hundreds and much more interested in the type of photography that sold in limited editions and provided a creative outlet for my imagination.
