Arizona is home to some of the most breathtaking and extreme landscapes in the American Southwest from vast desert basins and towering canyon systems to remote wilderness areas few people ever have the opportunity to experience firsthand.
But these landscapes are changing.
Rising temperatures, prolonged drought, shifting ecosystems, wildfire impacts, and environmental stress are already reshaping parts of Arizona in visible ways. Some changes happen slowly over decades. Others are unfolding faster than many people realize.
Arizona Before the Change is an ongoing environmental photography and storytelling project dedicated to documenting these landscapes through powerful visual imagery, education, and respectful exploration.
The mission of the project is simple:
Preserve visual records of Arizona’s landscapes and wildlife
Increase awareness of environmental change across the Southwest
Create imagery that future generations can look back on
