Aperture #262

This issue brings together a global group of photographers contemplating nature’s fragile beauty and its ever-changing relationship to people. Whether depicting haiku-like moments on a remote Japanese island, the ancient forests of California, or the entire Earth, the images gathered in this sweeping yet intimate issue remind us that nature is not separate from humanity, but entwined with our lives in ways that are both mysterious and profoundly urgent.

Since 1952, Aperture has been required reading for everyone seriously interested in photography. Aperture is a nonprofit publisher dedicated to creating insight, community, and understanding through photography.
