Editorial Press Photography in Oxfordshire for Rebalance Earth

The Editorial and Press Photography Brief

I was contacted to attend a media photo call commissioned for an exclusive feature for The Times newspaper. The piece, entitled 'Why I want to give Britain’s rivers their wiggle back', was written by Ben Cooke, Environment Editor for The Times. I was commissioned to capture stakeholder portraits and group photos during a site visit.

The brief requested editorial photography with a commercial edge, sitting between The Times editorial standards and Rebalance Earth's brand positioning.

 

The story centred on Rebalance Earth, run by a fund manager that treats nature as an investable asset class. Their newest project is the Evenlode Landscape Recovery Project in Oxfordshire, a 3,500+ hectare initiative that restores floodplains, soils and river systems upstream of the River Thames.

It is the UK's first demonstrator of nature treated as infrastructure rather than philanthropy. The restoration work on the ground includes river re-wiggling, soil restoration and tree planting, all delivered by Great Yellow, a regenerative land-use company in which Rebalance Earth has made a strategic investment.

Representatives from Network Rail, Oxford County Council, The Times and Rebalance Earth were present.
