“I am fascinated by the visual energy and tension created at the intersections of nature and human activity. Uniquely as a species, we consciously modify and use the environment for our perceived needs or enjoyment.” –Jamey Stillings

Stillings’s The Evolution of Ivanpah Solar culminated in a beautifully reproduced monograph, published by Steidl in 2015, which also received 'Best Book' honors from photo-eye Bookstore and Time Magazine's Lightbox blog last year. The book reproduces 60 of Stillings’ images with essay contributions from Bruce Barcott, Robert Redford and Anne Tucker.

“Storms are living breathing phenomenons born when all the various elements come together in unison. The images presented capture what I see and feel while standing in front of these amazing creations of Mother Earth.” – Mitch Dobrowner
A popular series, STORMS has been published in National Geographic, as well as numerous online sources, and the 2013 monograph from Aperture is sold out. Just this September, Dobrowner released nine striking new works in the ongoing STORMS series. This is the second time Dobrowner has won this award; he was previously honored in 2011.
