The Greenland ice sheet is not just a stark, frigid wilderness perched
at the top of the globe, it is a vast frozen reservoir of fresh water -
one that offsets 7 metres of coastal flooding around the planet. In
the past two decades, that reservoir has shifted from steady state in
balance with its climate, to one in which it is now losing on average
3.8 billion tonnes of ice annually. It was a long-held passion of mine
to capture the impact of Arctic warming and translate it into
beautiful photographic images, while alerting the wider world to this
amazing yet disturbing occurrence in the Arctic. The images are part
of a broader series called THAW which is a collaboration between
fine art photography and the scientific work of several leading
glaciologists.
Timo Lieber is a London-based photographer, best known for his distinctive take on our world from above. He gets inspired by the environment and the interplay of elements that form some of nature's most incredible shapes and patterns.
While many of Timo's earlier works show the beauty of vast, untouched landscapes, his current work explores the human interaction with nature and the complexity of its impact. Through his photographs, Timo attempts to look beyond the obvious and invites the viewer to embark on a visual journey together.
Timo's photographs have been published by The Guardian, The Washington Post, CNN, BBC, NASA and New Scientist, among many others. Timo is the 2013 winner of the International Pano Awards (Australia) and has received numerous further awards, including PDN Photo Annual (US), Int. Photography Awards (US), National Geographic (US), PX3 Prix de la Photographie (France), Sony World Photography Awards (UK) and Global Arctic Awards (Russia). His latest solo show, THAW, was on display at Bonhams, London, in early 2017.
