New York photographer J. Henry Fair is taking photos of what he calls “industrial scars” to raise awareness of pollution in the world. He initially took photos of harrowing scenes,devastation of wildlife and land caused by various industrial disasters, to shock viewers into action.

“Industrial Scars” is an aesthetic look at some of our most egregious injuries to the system that sustains us in hopes that the viewer will come away with an innate understanding of her complicity and a will to make a difference.”

The images are both beautiful and haunting, but a unique way to draw people in and acknowledge what we are doing to our planet.
