The Earth Cries Fiercely presents Earth as a living entity reacting to climate change like an allergic response. Just as the body defends itself against harmful agents, our planet responds to pollution, deforestation, and exploitation with eruptions, wildfires, and floods. These phenomena are Earth's adaptive mechanisms—scientifically understood as responses to environmental stress, such as volcanic eruptions, wildfires, and coastal erosion. Ecosystems are being pushed beyond their capacity to regenerate as each photograph captures Earth’s fierce response, uncovering both distress and resilience.

There are places in nature where you feel quite small and lost. In the presence of the mountains or the vastness of the sea, the overwhelming dimension and the fullness of the incoming sensory impressions result in a humbling experience. The high mountains, with their vertical layers of clouds, rock, snow, scree and forests, belong to this category of landscape. Not only does the mood of the lighting change very rapidly, it is also distributed with great variety throughout the visually perceptible scenery.

If you're a photographer or just a fan of photography, you're probably constantly interested in learning about the top online portfolios. However, there are so many incredible photographers that it can be challenging to know where to search, which might lead to you missing some of the ones you wish you had known about earlier. Here is where All About Photo can be of assistance. We compile a selection of the most amazing contemporary photographers we find each month. Here is what we have decided upon for December 2024. We sincerely hope you discover the motivation you were seeking.

In this series, I explore the dynamic atmosphere of a train station in Lucknow, India, a place where emotions run high and stories unfold with each passing moment.

This ongoing project began in 2017 and documents the daily life of my grandmother-in-law, Oma Hedwig, and her journey through the aging process to the present at age 94. (“Oma” means Grandma in German.)

I started this series about the village pub years ago, after a visit on Sunday morning with a whole group of walkers in an almost crowded café in Poperinge, I noticed that the somewhat elderly café owner found it all very pleasant despite the crowds and she noted down the consumptions on "the beer card" and let us all sing along to a schlager from the juke box.

This series of photographs was taken in the place that gives it its title, El cañón del Río Melcocho (The Melcocho River Canyon), which is located southeast of the department of Antioquia, Colombia. There is no road leading to this location; the only way to get there is on foot or by horse.

Located in the Belgian city of Genk, the former Winterslag coal mine, once a major source of industry in the city, has been converted into a sprawling contemporary art campus where visitors can experience futuristic visions in a location rooted in the past. Coal was first discovered in the area around 1902, and the mine in the Winterslag region of Genk first began its operations in 1914. The rich seams of ore led to a substantial development in the area surrounding the mine, including both residential and administrative structures being built while the work underground continued. Unfortunately around the 1960s, the coal in the area began to dry up and the Winterslag mine was finally forced to shut down operation in the mid-1980s.

Introduced by a mutual friend, I met her during the Black Summer fires in Sydney. It was a warm October evening; the mosquitoes were biting incessantly; and our eyes locked as we sat at my friend’s picnic table. Long, buttery hair cascaded down her shoulders, and the dancing embers of a nearby fire flickered in her pale blue eyes.
