Camille Seaman

Seaman graduated from the State University of New York, Purchase, in 1992 after studying photography with Jan Groover and John Cohen.

She gained widespread attention in 2006 with her series The Last Iceberg, which documents Arctic and Antarctic icebergs using a portraiture approach. Seaman continues to work on the effects of climate change and strongly believes in capturing photographs that articulate that humans are not separate from nature.

Seaman has held numerous group and solo exhibitions, and her series The Last Iceberg has been shown extensively in the United States and Europe, including at the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, D.C. (2007 and 2008); the University of Delaware Museum (2008); and Hans Alf Gallery, Copenhagen (2009).

Seaman’s work has received numerous prizes including a National Geographic award in 2006 and a Critical Mass award in Portland, Oregon, for her monograph The Last Iceberg in 2007. She was a TED Senior Fellow (2011–15) and a Stanford Knight Fellow (2014), and was awarded a Fellowship by Cinereach in New York as Filmmaker in Residence (2016).

Seaman’s photographs have been published widely, including in National Geographic, German GEO, Italian GEO, The New York Times Sunday Magazine, Newsweek, Outside Magazine (United States), Zeit Wissen (Germany), and Men’s Journal (United States).

Most recently, Seaman was shortlisted for the Prix Pictet "Storm" cycle, with a traveling exhibition seen around the world.
