And Here We Are: Stories from The Sixth Extinction

This collection of noir-ish photographs presents numerous elements of the natural world imperiled by humanity’s havoc. Bil Zelman highlights the impacts of non-native and invasive species, the current Holocene Extinction, and the fragile places where man and nature collide. The series consists of images of specimens and landscapes, shot at night, accompanied by researched and in-depth captions, that seem to walk the line between visual evidence and photographic art.

Bil Zelman is an American photographer known for his powerful candid portraiture and noir landscapes. Los Angeles Times compares the "psychological density” of his work to the likes of Diane Arbus, Garry Winogrand, and Larry Fink,- photographers that are "purposely getting it wrong in one way so as to get it right in another, disrupting visual order to ignite a kind of visceral disorder”. Bil's work has been exhibited in museums around the US and published in magazines worldwide.
