Kevin Bleakley is a photographer, climate blogger, scientist and translator based in Paris, France. His work in all of these areas is gradually being subsumed by the biggest issue we face in the 21st century: climate change.
As a scientist, he works on tropical diseases—often spread by mosquitos—that are inexorably branching out from the tropics as the planet warms. As a climate blogger, he comments on occasionally hopeful but usually painful news from around the world as it slowly-but-surely all falls apart. And as a photographer and inveterate traveller, he’s increasingly confronted by his own unacceptable carbon footprint in all of this.
Indeed, the tension between his personal behaviour and the reality of climate change led to the unifying idea behind this website: Adventures of a Climate Criminal.
You can contact Kevin at: adventuresofaclimatecriminal@gmail.com if you have news tips or photography projects to talk about, or just want to tell him why he’s wrong (or right) about something.
He sells some of his most favourite-ever prints here, and welcomes French-to-English translation work, with funds raised going to buy yet more cans of baked beans for his underground survival bunker, the location of which is currently a well-kept secret.
