There's a particular irony in using a camera to document humanity's relationship with nature. Zed Nelson, the Sony World Photography Awards' Photographer of the Year 2025, has spent six years doing exactly that, and the results, now on show in London, are as beautiful as they are unsettling.
The exhibition is The Anthropocene Illusion, opening at Somerset House on April 17 as part of the 2026 Sony World Photography Awards exhibition, running until 4 May. It's the most expansive UK showing of the project to date, with previously unseen works alongside those that won Nelson the Photographer of the Year title last year.
