Photographer Katie Orlinsky has won the $20,000 Alexia 2019 Professional Grant to support her project “Chasing Winter,” which looks at how climate change is affecting communities across Alaska and changing their relationship to animals and the land. Orlinsky, a contributing photographer to National Geographic, had previously won the Alexia Student award in 2012 for her project on violence in Mexico.
Photographer Katie Orlinsky says seeing melting Arctic permafrost, while shooting for National Geographic, was unlike any other assignment.
Photographer Katie Orlinsky has been documenting the impact of climate change for four years, but says what she recently witnessed on assignment for National Geographic frightened her like no other assignment has. National Geographic sent Orlinsky and writer Craig Welch to northern Russia and Siberia for a look at permafrost: the layer of ground below the soil that (usually) remains frozen solid throughout the year. This year, however scientist Nikita Zimov and his father, Sergey, drilled into the ground and found soft mush where the earth should be frozen solid. Welch writes, “For the first time in memory, ground that insulates deep Arctic permafrost simply did not freeze in winter.” Story editor Sadie Quarrier explains that National Geographic plans to publish Orlinsky’s and Welch’s full story in fall 2019. However, “The pressing nature of their discoveries made our coverage of this specific aspect of story more urgent, which is why we decided to file a digital story just days after they returned from the field.”
Katie Orlinsky has a track record of connecting with the communities in her images. It shows.

Showcase: A Story, Waiting to Happen – Lens Blog – NYTimes.com:
Katie Orlinsky stood by herself in an enormous train yard on the outskirts of Mexico City, looking for the perfect photograph. A picture editor had told her she needed a dramatic image to embody her story about illegal Central American immigrants on their way by rail to the United States border: she had to stand on top of a moving train with one of the people she’d been following.
