PHOTOS: Photography and the Natural World

Photography can show us what we would otherwise be unable to see - outer space, the deep sea, even the cells within our own bodies. In doing so, photographs can advance our understanding of the natural world.

Here is a collection of some of the photos we enjoyed, while exploring the interplay between photographers, science, and how technological advances have changed our ability to document and visualize the natural world.
