How can art be used to raise the collective environmental consciousness? Photographer Ian Shive may have at least some of the answers.
Only 33, he is the latest luminary to join an illustrious circle that includes the likes of Dewitt Jones and Robert Glenn Ketchum—winners of the Ansel Adams Award for Conservation Photography from the Sierra Club. Ian received this year’s award on Sept. 23.
Ian credits Adams as the creator of the entire genre that his own world revolves around. “The way he saw the outdoors as an art form really sets a precedent for my business, my way of living, the way I see the world, the way a lot of people see the world,” Ian says during an interview with The Epoch Times.
