MPS Digital Photography presents a talk with Steve Giovinco, a Yale-educated artist using a meditative process to document sites of climate change. His work explores humanity's quiet presence within an endangered natural world, often capturing night landscapes in extreme darkness using long exposures. Giovinco’s photographs are collected by major institutions, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, The Brooklyn Museum of Art, and the Yale University Art Gallery. He has exhibited widely in solo shows at the California Museum of Photography and Fotogalerie Wien, and in group exhibitions alongside artists such as Jeff Wall. A former Fulbright Fellow Alternate, Giovinco has received grants from the American-Scandinavian Foundation to photograph Greenland and fellowships from Yaddo, the Ucross Foundation, and the French Ministry of Culture.


Starting in 2011 and after over 250 lectures, the i3: Images, Ideas, Inspiration Lecture series continues to feature leading photographers, artists, editors, gallerists, and industry experts. The spring 2026 i3 Lecture season is curated and hosted by MPS Digital Photography faculty member Julie Grahame. Most past lectures are available on YouTube and Vimeo.
