is the third chapter of , Nick
Brandt’s ongoing global series portraying people and animals
that have been impacted by environmental degradation
and destruction. This third chapter focuses on
South Pacific Islanders impacted by climate change and
serves as a stark reminder of the looming reality many
island nations face. The local people in these photos, photographed
underwater in the ocean off the coast of the
Fijian islands, symbolize the many people who stand to
lose their homes, land and livelihoods in the coming decades
as the water rises.
The images—all shot in-camera underwater—are hauntingly
beautiful. But beyond the immediate visual impact,
Brandt’s work delves deeper, asking: how did we get here?
What does the future hold for these communities? And
how can we mitigate, if not reverse, the damage? Brandt’s
emphatic portraits bridge the often abstract concept of climate
change and are a reminder that behind every statistic
about rising sea levels, there’s a tangible human story.

In the third chapter Brandt introduces color to the series, highlighting the all-encompassing impact of the water.
