Championing the women on the frontlines fighting climate change.
In the lead up to the historic COP21 UN summit, Look collaborated with Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin on a long-form immersive piece for Vogue, celebrating 12 of the most formidable women on the front line fighting against global warming. Additional content came from reporting during the event highlighting the work these women were doing in real-time: model/activist Cameron Russell presented the portraits and videos during the conference, all of which was later repurposed for a Vogue.com takeover with a storm of supplementary material, including an interview with President Barack Obama.
