PHOTOGRAPHS BY ACACI= A JOHNSON
By Whitney Johnson, Director of= Visual and Immersive Experiences

“There seem to be two= things that drive photographer Acacia Johnson&= #x2019;s work: curiosity and magic,” said Mallory= Benedict, a Nat Geo photo editor, at the International Center of = Photography Infinity Awards<= /a> this week=2E

Acacia, a Nat Geo photographer= , won the Documentary Practice and Photojournalism award, while fellow Nat = Geo photographer Esther Horvath (whose obsessio= n with remote regions I’ve shared with you before) was honored as the E= merging Photographer=2E I also was struck by the work of another winner, Sky Hopinka= , who brought a fresh look at climate change and our world in = the Art category=2E

Acacia’s photographs—from a remot= e Inuit village (above) to faraway Alaskan landscapes, to deep inside ice c= aves, to the darkness of the polar regions—transport us to places we= may never see with our own eyes=2E Instead of simply showing us what she s= ees, Acacia uses photography to give us a sense of what a place feels like–and that’s the true power of photograph= y=2E That’s the magic=2E

“My favorite pictures,ȁ= D; Acacia says, “are ones where people stop to figure out what they'= re seeing=2E” The images that make you think, look more closely to t= ry to understand=2E

Sanctuary: At sunrise, Pacific walruses approa= ch the shore to join a haul-out on Alaska’s remote Round Island=2E S= ince the sanctuary was established in 1960, a summer program has allowed sm= all groups of visitors to camp on the island and observe walruses=2E Acacia= was transfixed=2E “Watching them—their different colors, the= ir battle scars, their antics—reminds me that all animals are indivi= duals, with personalities, emotions, and empathy,” Acacia writes=2E =
