Emery was selected one of the Decade of Change Award Winners in 2021, a global environmental initiative conceived to harness the universal power of photography to galvanise climate action. Her series Tenchi: Building a Bridge Between Heaven and Earth was included by Christiana Figures, architect of the Paris Agreement, as she discussed the role of photography & the arts in understanding the climate crisis within the BJP's Decade of Change Issue 2021.

Emery's photographs have been exhibited at institutions such as Parasol Unit Foundation for Contemporary Art in London, Annenberg Space of Photography in New York, Asama International Photo Festival in Japan and The Climate Change Museum in Hong Kong and Climate Museum New York. Her images have been included in books by Gestalten, Rizzoli and SPBH Editions.

The British Journal of Photography selected Emery's monograph 'Rie' (publ. Kominek) as one of the most engaging & exciting projects of 2016, as featured on their noteworthy photographers issue cover in 2017.

Her book 'Yuka & The Forest' (publ. Art Paper Editions, printed on 100% recycled paper) which draws on Japan’s powerful cultural connection to forests, was exhibited within the Prix du Livre d’Auteur in Arles in 2019. 30% of profits were donated to the World Wide Fund For Nature.
