Blue Earth Alliance
Blue Earth believes documentary photography can inspire positive change. We support visual storytelling on critical environmental and social issues through direct assistance to photographers and a collaborative community of professionals. Blue Earth projects are featured in books such as The Living Wild by Art Wolfe, Arctic National Wildlife Refuge by Subhankar Banerjee, and Life on Earth: A Journey Through Time by Frans Lanting. Raw Rainforest founder Bruce Farnsworth is a Blue Earth photographer currently documenting the cultural and environmental impacts of fracking in the American West.
