This is a new story about a team of researchers that monitor polar bears around Svalbard. The bears are tranquillised prior to the research, with a dart fired from a helicopter. It’s highly skilled and demanding work, but gains a valuable data set about the health of the Barents polar bear population.

Wildphotos is a two day event aimed at exploring the power of wildlife and environmental photography -the biggest of it’s kind in the UK. It’s held each year at the Royal Geographical Society in London. I thoroughly enjoyed speaking and listening to some great photographers there last year. They’ve just released a short promotional video, ahead of announcing the speakers for 2011.

It’s challenging to pitch a story on ocean acidification, editors tend to go to sleep on the phone. It’s not the sexiest sounding subject, but sometimes though, things come together -like here where Discover have made a beautiful spread of the work at Ny-Ålesund last year. If you’re in the USA, you can pick up a copy now.

Petermann glacier has made the headlines, just over a year after I visited it with Greenpeace. It seems that those rifts we documented have finally opened up completely and a huge piece of the ice shelf has drifted away. Whether it will be held against the band of sea ice, or drift out into Nares Strait is the question everyone seems to be asking

Visa pour l’Image, held in Perpignan, France is “the premier international festival of photojournalism” If you’re attending this year, I have a solo screening of the glacial work. It will take place at 7pm on Friday 3rd September. The screenings take place outside in an old town square, on a gigantic projection screen. What better place to watch work that concerns nature and the elements -recommended!

American Photography Is a jury selected yearbook of commercial photography, book and magazine publishing as well as photographer’s personal work. This eclectic (and long!) mix makes interesting viewing, this year two of my images made the cut. Sequencing photojournalism and advertising photography without context raises questions -what is real?
The book will be published at the end of the year, until then AP have published a slideshow of the selections.
