Satellite images that show how much we've changed the planet

Artist Benjamin Grant focuses on aerial photographs of our planet. However, he doesn't depict picturesque wildlife.

The artist explores how humans have changed the face of the Earth over so many years of existence. For this, Grant selects satellite images from DigitalGlobe, which vividly illustrate the results of human skill.





The beauty of the photographs undoubtedly attracts attention and invites us to take a step back to finally see how rapidly our world is changing.
