About
Talor Stone is a PhD researcher and photographer based in Pensacola, Florida. After serving as a federal agent for the United States military, Talor broke from the traditional career path to pursue photography.
As an Arctic specialist, Talor has spent a significant amount of time exploring the northern region. Her summers in Greenland have inspired numerous academic research projects on topics like globalization and indigenous identity. These themes are echoed in her photographic pursuits which focus heavily on Arctic landscapes and other climate change-inspired projects that visually explore the real-life aspects of her academic subjects.
To further this mission, Talor is partnering with filmmaker Ashlei Payne to produce a documentary about the modern changes of hunting culture in northern Greenland. Learn more about this project and how you can support it here:
Talor’s work is about more than photography. Her images merge science and art to highlight themes of transition and fragility and to emotionally connect viewers to places few will ever visit. Her hope is to raise awareness that climate-threatened landscapes are more than data points, charts, and statistics – they’re living places that deserve to be protected in their own right.
As an educator, Talor considers it a priority to enhance awareness and appreciation of the natural world through speaking engagements and hands-on education. Her photography workshops focus on introducing others to these magical and remote places and creating a deeper understanding of the environment while also learning new technical skills. Talor is proud to be a Pro with Muench Workshops who offer incredible and immersive photography experiences worldwide.
