Celia Talbot Tobin (she/her, b. 1983) is a freelance documentary photographer who divides her time between New York City and further upstate in Ithaca. A farm kid from central NY state, her work often explores environmental issues surrounding invisible borders, land rights and water usage, and the relationships human build with their environment.
Celia was previously based in Mexico City for five years, and before that, in western Montana, where she received her master’s in environmental science journalism. She is an alumnus of the Eddie Adams Workshop and a member of Women Photograph and The Journal Collectives. She’s been exhibited in the Schweinfurth Museum and Invisible Dog gallery and art center in Brooklyn, NY.
