How Photography Can Help Save Oceans
KEITH ELLENBOGEN | Associate Professor of Photography
East Viz Lab at FIT, led by Keith Ellenbogen, assistant professor of Photography, is about discovering, innovating, and teaching cutting-edge lens-based technologies and their artistic application, and addressing global environmental and social issues.
“Space to Sea—A Photographic Journey into Stellwagen Bank” captures images of the extraordinary diversity of marine life in the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, 25 miles off the coast of Boston. Going beyond conventional sea-level views, Professor Ellenbogen reveals the complete Stellwagen ecosystem, from its iconic basking sharks to its tiniest microscopic creatures. His goal is to combine innovative photographic techniques—including 360-degree virtual reality multi-camera systems, high-speed photography, microscopy, and satellite imagery—with conservation messaging to inspire audiences and generate public engagement.
