Reframing Fields of Vision: From the ‘pencil of nature’ to environmental futures
Since its inception, photography has been used to explore the geographic and the botanical, while more it has become associated with interrogative questioning of ecosystems and environmental change. Wells’ talk focussed on British photography and ways in which photographers have used the camera to explore place and environment, particularly in relation to rural lands and landscapes.
