Nikon Presents: Charlie Hamilton James: The Story Behind ‘End Times’

End Times is a project that explores global environmental collapse and how we consume information about it, by reconsidering entrenched narratives and understanding. The images are journalistic in their attempt to present truth rather than agenda and artistic in the way they consider subjects and storytelling: visually, rather than editorially. The project is ongoing.
