Virginia Hanusik (b. 1989, United States) is an American photographer whose work focuses on climate change, infrastructure, and the evolving relationship between humans and the environment. Her projects often examine how landscapes are reshaped by industrial activity, rising sea levels, and environmental intervention.

Hanusik’s photographic approach combines documentary observation with a strong formal sensibility, emphasizing color, geometry, and spatial composition. Her images frequently depict constructed environments—such as flood defenses, industrial sites, and altered coastlines—presented with a clarity that highlights both their functional purpose and their visual complexity.

Her photobook Into the Quiet and the Light: Water, Life, and Land Loss in South Louisiana has been recognized for its nuanced exploration of ecological transformation. For collectors, Hanusik’s work is notable for its contribution to contemporary environmental photography, where documentary practice intersects with visual refinement and long-term research.
