Christopher LaMarca studied Environmental Studies and Biology at the University of Oregon, a degree that led him to pursue photographic projects documenting environmental issues. His work on the protection of old growth forests against logging garnered him numerous awards, including PDN‘s 30 Emerging Photographers and NPPA‘s Best of Photography. His Forest Defender project was featured in the 2006–2007 ICP triennial, Ecotopia; along with being published in both Aperture and Art Review. His first book Forest Defenders was recently published by PowerHouse Books.
