Anthropocene photography focuses on displaying the effects of mankind on the Earth. Typically, Anthropocene photographers will produce images based on pollution and/or waste, the destruction of nature, and large man-made structures. This form of photography is heavily rooted in political views on climate change.

There is a project on Anthropocene, it is a multidisciplinary body of work combining fine art photography, film, virtual reality, augmented reality, and scientific research to investigate human influence on the state, dynamic, and future of the Earth.
