Much of Ben's work has been centered around environmental issues, and his ongoing portfolio documents wetland loss and coastal erosion in Louisiana. Over the past eighty years, the Louisiana Coast has lost 2,000 square miles of wetlands. Last week, on our blog, we shared an interview between the artist and Gallery Associate Jovi Esquivel. The two discussed Depp's passion for documenting the changing landscape of the Gulf Coast, and the motorized paraglider Depp uses to travel throughout the coastline to capture his images.

By slowing down, spending days at a time camping, traveling slowly by sailboat, and then powered paraglider, I am seeing the natural world around me more clearly. The photographs I'm now making reflect my increased connection and sensitivity to this place." — Ben Depp [Ben Depp, Delacroix Morning, 2020, Archival Pigment Print, 30x40″, Edition of 5, $4,000]( [Ben Depp, Cameron Oak, 2021, Archival Pigment Print, 30x40″, Edition of 5, $4,000]( [Ben Depp, Retreating Shoreline, 2020, Archival Pigment Print, 30x40″, Edition of 5, $4,000]( [Inquire about Prints](mailto:gallery@photoeye.com, jovi@photoeye.com?subject=Ben%20Depp%20print%20inquiry&body=Hello%2C%20I'm%20interested%20in%20Ben%20Depp's%20work%20and%20would%20like%20to%20purchase%20a%20print.)
