New agency targets environmental issues
A new photographic agency dedicated to assignments depicting climate change and environmental issues has been launched in New York.
GHG Photos, named after the abbreviated term for greenhouse gases, will not handle stock but instead aims at providing editors with a ‘one-stop-shop' for photographers specialised in the field.
Joshua Wolfe, one of GHG's photographers, tells BJP that the agency's goal is to raise the standards of photography on the subject by producing scientifically accurate images that will better explain climate change and help influence discussion.
He says photographers who work in this area will find it a great resource as a clearinghouse for their talent as they often spend so much time in the field.
Wolfe predicts further collaboration between individual photographers and agencies. ‘I think you are going to see a push in high-specialised fields like ours to join forces on things like marketing, promotion, and securing new sources of funding,' he says.
