Description
This collection of noir-ish photographs presents numerous elements of the natural world imperiled by humanity's havoc. Bil Zelman highlights the impacts of non-native and invasive species, the current Holocene Extinction, and the fragile places where man and nature collide. The series consists of images of specimens and landscapes, shot at night, accompanied by researched and in-depth captions, that seem to walk the line between visual evidence and photographic art.
Reviews / Votes
"Zelman presents the end of the world with rooted thoughtfulness and style of photography usually reserved for fashion icons- An unfamiliar narrative that will forever change the way you think about your surroundings...",- Dersu Rhodes- Global design director VICE
"Equally striking as it is meaningful, this powerful work is a critical reminder that the alarms are not ringing loudly enough for many of us to hear.",
-Alexandra Cousteau- National Geographic Explorer, Ocean Advocate

Bil Zelman is an American photographer known for his powerful candid portraiture and noir landscapes. Los Angeles Times compares the "psychological density" of his work to the likes of Diane Arbus, Garry Winogrand, and Larry Fink,- photographers that are "purposely getting it wrong in one way so as to get it right in another, disrupting visual order to ignite a kind of visceral disorder". Bil's work has been exhibited in museums around the US and published in magazines worldwide.
