Originally established in 2018 by The Royal Geographical Society, Parker Harris and Forestry England, Earth Photo is highly respected in the field of environmental and climate-engaged photography, organised in partnership with Photoworks. 

We are delighted to acknowledge the contribution of founding partner Forestry England, who helped to make Earth Photo possible.

The Royal Geographical Society (with The Institute of British Geographers) is the learned society and professional body for geography. Formed in 1830, our Royal Charter of 1859 is for 'the advancement of geographical science'. Today, we deliver this objective through developing, supporting and promoting geographical research, expeditions and fieldwork, education, public engagement, and input to policy. We aim to foster an understanding and informed enjoyment of our world. We have a thriving Fellowship and Membership and award the professional accreditation 'Chartered Geographer’. The Society holds the world's largest publicly-accessible private geographical Collections, and photography has been at the heart of the Society’s work for over 130 years. John Thomson FRGS, the first photojournalist of modern times, led the Society’s use of documentary style photography and brought awareness of the people and places of the Far East, and later street London, to nineteenth century audiences for the first time. Earth Photo draws on the Society’s photographic heritage of over 500,000 images held within its Collections, from the earliest daguerreotype image of 1851 to the latest work by contemporary photographers. www.rgs.org
