Environmental services photography focuses on the inspiring projects that are putting damaged ecosystems back together.
Your projects focus on the restoration, rehabilitation and remediation of these environments. We capture them, beautifully: exceptional environmental, infrastructure and construction projects throughout the Northeast, and across the country.
Your signature projects tell the world who you are, and what you are capable of.
Whether you’re fulfilling the terms of a contract and satisfying pre-construction, progress and post-construction requirements, or in need of marketing materials, in-house deliverables or a social media image library, Allman Environmental Services Photography can provide quality, cost-effective services through hard work, creativity and collaboration, and going beyond your expectations.
We work in diverse and challenging environments.
Environmental services projects are carried out in all kinds of environments. We’re prepared. A safety-first culture and respect for what nature can throw at us — from extreme temperatures to underwater environments — is part of everything we do in the field.
20 years of photojournalism experience puts the focus on the human face of your work.
When projects and landscapes look a little static, we find where the energy is. Usually, this means your people. Suzanne brings two decades of photojournalism experience with national publications, focussing on the faces behind your projects.
Our Latest Projects
These stories will give you a better idea of what we do, our approach to a variety of projects, and how we can help tell your stories.
Honk Falls, and a Free Rondout
We finish an 18-month project at Honk Lake, where the Honk Falls dam was lowered, removing the lake and restoring the free-running Rondout creek in the Catskills. A beautiful, cascading ravine catches the energetic falls.
Coire Glas: Pumped Hydro Storage in the Scottish Highlands
The Coire Glas (“little grey-green hollow”) project in the Scottish Highlands will pump water from Loch Lochy to the upper reservoir, storing energy and acting as a giant battery for homes across Great Britain.
Places We Go: The Champlain Hudson Power Express
Preconstruction work on the Champlain Hudson project is underway this month, just before black fly season in the Adirondacks. We’re working with Caldwell Marine International on this one.
Preconstruction: Verrazzano Narrows
We begin a new project, starting with preconstruction photography and videography along the shoreline under the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge in Brooklyn.
Setting the Floodgate, New York City
At 45 tons, the No. 18 Floodgate in Asser Levy Park is lowered into place. When flooding threatens lower Manhattan’s East Side, a series of gates will shut. This one will take a full five minutes.
Bureau of Land Management: Fire Preparedness Review
In May, as fire season gets underway, I joined the Bureau of Land Management’s Fire Preparedness Review team to photograph the landscape, wildland firefighters, remote fire stations and helitack crews in Arizona and Utah.
Bird Banding Public Session, Albany Pine Bush
In Albany’s pine barrens, ornithologists are letting young people experience the joys and challenges of bird banding.

Shifting from sports photography to environmental services photography often means you have to seek out the energy in your photographs.
