Alex Joseph Hansen is a photographer and narrative storyteller focused on the intricate relationship between humans and nature. His journey began in the glaciated regions of the world, where he learned firsthand the devastating effects of environmental degradation–from the mass exodus of glaciers to systematic shifts in climate patterns–and how these changes innately reshape the human-nature experience. These early encounters helped forge his commitment to telling stories that illuminate the profound interconnection between people and the planet.

Alex Joseph’s work spans six continents and is centered around themes of land and habitat protection, human-wildlife coexistence, and cultural identity preservation. He regularly travels to some of the world’s most remote regions to document and share narratives of resilience, climate-adaptability, and hope. He aims to bridge the gap between local communities and global audiences by illuminating both issues and solutions to our changing climate.

Photography can transcend mere documentation and serve as a vehicle for global citizenship. It allows us to deeply engage with communities, amplifying voices and stories that foster connections and inspire action. Through his work, Alex Joseph Hansen strives to showcase the beauty of our shared planet and dismantle the barriers of apathy that hinder our collective responsibility to protect it.
