Hungarian Esther Horvath is a multi-award winning polar photographer whose work focuses on climate research in the polar regions. By documenting the work and life of scientists who deliver important data, Esther hopes to help make a difference in how people understand what actually is occurring, and her collaborations with scientists help raise public awareness about these increasingly fragile environments. Esther was born in 1979 in Sopron, Hungary. Esther grew up behind the Iron Curtain and even though she lived only a few kilometers from the Austrian border she was ten years old before the ‘curtain' came down and she was able to explore the Austrian mountains where the Alps start, discovering a world that held a fascination which would become a life-long passion for her as an explorer.

Upon graduating she worked in the private sector in Vienna and at 25 she owned her first camera which would prove to be life-changing. With a growing passion for photography she decided to go to New York to study Photojournalism and Documentary Photography at International Center of Photography, (ICP). After finishing ICP, she received an assignment from Audubon magazine, to the Arctic Ocean, which was the next most important milestone in her life. Today she documented 25 scientific expeditions in the Arctic and Antarctica. From 2019 – 2020, Esther spent almost four months on board the Polarstern icebreaker during polar nights in extreme conditions, documenting the MOSAiC expedition in the Central Arctic Ocean, the largest ever Arctic Ocean science expedition. In 2022 she was the official photographer of the Endurance22 expedition, searching and finding Sir Ernest Shackleton's ship the Endurance. Esther won the first prize in World Press Photo Award, Environmental single category in 2020.

F-Stop Collaborate and Listen - A Landscape Photography Podcast
As photographers, we often seek validation for our work, which can come from various sources. For some, this helps to propel us forward to create more interesting photographs, helping us to push the envelope. While external validation isn't something everyone seeks, it certainly can be a powerful motivator. Today's guest on the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen Podcast, Jassen Todorov, is an award-winning aerial photographer who has been recognized for his outstanding ability to tell compelling stories through his aerial images. In today's podcast, I wanted to dig deeper into what motivates Jassen to create his jaw-dropping aerial images. On this week's episode, we discuss: How Jassen got into aerial photography. Jassen's career as a musician, pilot, and now, photographer. How Jassen creates compelling photographs while piloting his small plane. How and why Jassen is motivated by photography competitions. Jassen's experience with judging competitions for National Geographic. Tips for creating more exciting photographs. And a lot more! Please note, there is no YouTube upload this week due to technical difficulties with Jassen's audio and video set-up. On Patreon this week, Jassen shared some harrowing near-miss experiences that he's had while piloting his plane as a photographer.

B&H recently celebrated its 50th Anniversary, hosting a spectacular two-day celebration for the creator community, Bild Expo 2023, at New York's Jacob Javits Center. The podcast's past three episodes have featured in-depth interviews with a few of the esteemed speakers gracing Bild's four presenter stages. If you haven't already done so, please give them a listen, and then—hold on to your hats—in this episode we're trying something different! To prepare for some fun during the show, we assembled a mobile studio and cooked up a three-question Bild Creator Quiz to spring on imagemakers who crossed our path. Once at Javits, we went on the prowl for subjects willing to be ambushed. Our resulting interviews feature a select group of attendees, expo vendors, Bild speakers, and B&H staff members. Ever since the show wrapped, we've been hard at work, combining the short clips we captured live with a narrated story line to take listeners on a virtual stroll through most aspects of the show. We hope you enjoy this taste of the intense, intoxicating, creative camaraderie that permeated the Bild experience. Happy Anniversary B&H—here's to another 50 years of creativity and growth!

This week's guest is Ami Vitale, an award-winning National Geographic Photographer and Nikon Ambassador. Ami has visited over 100 countries, documenting the horrors of war and the good work being done to protect endangered species. In this conversation, Ami attributes her curiosity as a child to getting her out in the world as a photographer. She tells Justin about her early experience in journalism where she had to navigate a male dominated industry that couldn't see her in the field. Overcoming that, she learned the importance of spending time in the communities she photographed, not just parachuting in and out. Ami talks about her work with the Nature Conservancy and her new nonprofit, Vital Impacts.

"When are we all going to start to care about one another? Because all of our individual choices do have impacts. And I just think the demands that we place on this planet, on the ecosystems, are what are driving conflict and human suffering. In some cases, it's really the scarcity of resources, just like water. In others, it's the changing climate and the loss of fertile lands to be able to grow food. But in the end, it's always the people living in these places that really suffer the most. All of my work today, it's not really about wildlife, and it's not just about people either. It's about how deeply interconnected all of those things are. People and the human condition are the backdrop of every one of the stories on this planet."Photographer and filmmaker Ami Vitale shares her personal odyssey—from documenting the heartbreaking realities of war to witnessing the inspiring power of an individual to make a difference.

"When are we all going to start to care about one another? Because all of our individual choices do have impacts. And I just think the demands that we place on this planet, on the ecosystems, are what are driving conflict and human suffering. In some cases, it's really the scarcity of resources, just like water. In others, it's the changing climate and the loss of fertile lands to be able to grow food. But in the end, it's always the people living in these places that really suffer the most. All of my work today, it's not really about wildlife, and it's not just about people either. It's about how deeply interconnected all of those things are. People and the human condition are the backdrop of every one of the stories on this planet."Photographer and filmmaker Ami Vitale shares her personal odyssey—from documenting the heartbreaking realities of war to witnessing the inspiring power of an individual to make a difference. Her award-winning work illuminates the unsung heroes and communities working to protect our wildlife and find harmony in our natural world. Hear her awe-inspiring stories of the reintroduction of northern white rhinos and giant pandas to the wild, as well as Kenya's first indigenous-owned and run elephant sanctuary. Ami has traveled to more than 100 countries, bearing witness not only to violence and conflict, but also to surreal beauty and the enduring power of the human spirit. She has lived in mud huts and war zones, contracted malaria, and donned a panda suit— keeping true to her belief in the importance of “living the story.”Ami is an Ambassador for Nikon and a contract photographer with National Geographic magazine. She has documented wildlife and poaching in Africa, covered human-wildlife conflict, and concentrated on efforts to save the northern white rhino and reintroduce pandas to the wild. She is a six-time recipient of World Press Photos and published a best-selling book, Panda Love, on the secret lives of pandas. She lectures for the National Geographic LIVEseries, and she frequently gives workshops around the world.After more than a decade covering conflict, photographer and filmmaker Ami Vitale couldn't help but notice that the less sensational—but equally true—stories were often not getting told: the wedding happening around the corner from the revolution, triumphs amidst seemingly endless devastation. As a result, she re-committed herself to seeking out the stories within and around “the story.” Her belief that “you can't talk about humanity without talking about nature” led her to chronicle her journey from documenting warzones to telling some of the most compelling wildlife and environmental stories of our time, where individuals are making a profound difference in the future of their communities and this planet.

San Diego is home to the world's first frozen zoo—a genetic library where scientists are racing to bank the tissues and stem cells of disappearing animals. As scientists begin to clone endangered species, we revisit an episode from our archives that delves into what conservation looks like, as we head into a period that some scientists believe is our next great extinction. Want more? More information about Elizabeth Ann, the cloned black-footed ferret can be found here. National Geographic photographer Ami Vitale has covered conflict and nature. She was with Sudan when he died and she believes that the survival of creatures like the northern white rhino is intertwined with our own. Move over, Noah. Joel Sartore is building his own ark — out of photographs. He's on a decades-long mission to take portraits of more than 15,000 endangered species before it's too late. Stuart Pimm has a lot more to say about species revival. In this editorial he makes a case against de-extinction — and explains why bringing back extinct creatures could do more harm than good. It's been a long time since Jurassic Park hit theatres. Today, our revival technology straddles the line between science fact and science fiction — but do we want to go there? Also explore: Read Kate Gammon's original reporting for InsideScience, which inspired this conversation here at Overheard HQ. Want to dive further into the debate? Hear George Church's talk — and talks by some of the greatest minds in conservation — at the TedxDeExtinction conference. The Frozen Zoo is working on a lot of exciting research that didn't make it into the episode. For example, they've already managed to turn rhino skin cells into beating heart cells. To learn more about what they're up to, check out the San Diego Zoo's Institute for Conservation Research for yourself. Some of the most promising applications for the Frozen Zoo come from new technology that lets us turn one kind of cell into any other kind of cell.

Top conservation photographer Ami Vitale rejoins the show to discuss the work of an Indigenous-owned elephant sanctuary in Kenya, where she has shot a wonderful, new, heart-melting film called Shaba.

Then, for this World Elephant Day special, we speak with Duke University researcher John Poulsen about forest elephants of Central/West Africa: why this species is special, how they're key to the health of its rainforest home, and what his research team is learning about their conservation.

In the mountains of northern Kenya, a Samburu community is doing something that has never been done before, building a sanctuary for orphaned elephants to rehabilitate them back to the wild. The project is not just changing attitudes about elephants, it's changing attitudes about women too; the secret to the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary’s success is the special bond between a group of women keepers and one special elephant named Shaba.

What a treat to welcome photographer Ami Vitale to the B&H Photography Podcast. Vitale is mustering her high profile as a National Geographic photographer, as well as the talents of eighty-nine other incredible photographers, to raise funds for Conservation International. The Prints for Nature Sale runs until December 10, 2020 and offers gorgeous gallery-quality prints at a very affordable price. Please check this link for more information and to support this worthy initiative. We also speak with Vitale about her career trajectory and commitment to telling the stories of endangered species and the humans around them. We discuss her work photographing Sudan, the last male white rhinoceros in existence, and her incredible series about pandas in China. We also ask Vitale how she bridges the gap (or perceived gap) between journalism and advocacy photography and about her commitment to long-term engagement with the stories she covers. Vitale also addresses the changing dynamics of print journalism and the need to find funding for her projects, and we briefly mention her work as a Nikon ambassador. The dearth of tourism to many protected wildlife parks around the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic has brought conservation efforts to a crisis point and the Prints for Nature Sale, with images by Art Wolfe, Steve Winter, Pete McBride, Alison Wright (all past guests of the podcast) and many other great photographers, is a way that lovers of wildlife and of photography can help.

Nuevo grupo en Telegram, donde la comunidad de oyentes comentan temas relacionados con los contenidos del podcast y la fotografía en general. Mi canal en YouTube. MI EQUIPO FOTOGRÁFICO Te dejo la lista con el equipo que utilizo en mis salidas fotográficas. FOTÓGRAFO DESTACADO En este episodio Sandra nos presenta el trabajo de la fotógrafa Michaela Trimble. Nombre: Michaela Trimble Página web: http://www.michaelatrimble.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelatrimble Otras redes: https://twitter.com/Mich_Trimble, https://www.facebook.com/michaelatrimble ¿Por qué destaca? De origen estadounidense, Michaela Trimble es una fotógrafa y escritora de viajes. Sus amigos suelen burlarse de ella, porque cuando viaja siempre dice que "podría vivir en X o Y durante una temporada". Y confiesa que no lo dice de broma. Es una viajera nata y es capaz de encontrar belleza infinita en las diferentes culturas y formas de vida. Dice que es algo que aprendió durante su infancia ya que el trabajo de su madre la obligó a mudarse con frecuencia. Hoy en día todavía disfruta de la sensación inicial de entrar en un lugar en el que nunca ha estado ni ha fotografiado. Tras varios años viviendo en Nueva York, decide viajar sin rumbo permanentemente, aunque ahora vive en Ciudad de México. Durante su estancia en Nueva York trabajó gestionando la imagen de marca de AFAR, un grupo de comunicación especializado en viajes. Eso implicaba ir a eventos y conferencias de viajes, gestionar las redes sociales de AFAR y generar contenido. Gracias a ello consiguió la experiencia suficiente para lanzarse por su cuenta como fotógrafa y escritora de viajes. Ahora, ella misma es su propia marca y aplica todas las estrategias que aprendió durante su experiencia en AFAR para seguir trabajando y darse a conocer. Este es el motivo por el que he querido traer el trabajo de Michaela a esta sección: porque organiza la mayor parte de sus viajes y hace sus fotos sin que ningún medio se las encargue. Es decir, primero trabaja por libre, intentando averiguar qué contenido puede ser interesante y luego se pone en contacto con el medio de comunicación para venderle la historia. Y aquí es dónde viene lo más curioso de su trabajo y de su forma de ver el mundo: es tremendamente personal y se aleja de una fotografía más comercial y de postal que solemos ver en las revistas. Por poner un ejemplo,
Nikon Ambassador and National Geographic magazine photographer, Ami Vitale, has traveled to more than 100 countries, bearing witness not only to violence and conflict but also to surreal beauty and the enduring power of the human spirit.

Fotila války, nakonec se věnuje zvířatům po celé planetě. Opakovaně získala ocenění na World Press Photo, její fotky nakupují světové agentury. Člověk by si řekl „ta už je v klidu, ta je za vodou." Ale je to jinak - nečekejte sebejistou dámu, která je zakotvená v tom, co umí a na co má „glejt". Pořád zkouší něco nového - točí malá videa i dokumentární filmy, věnuje se svému instagramu a pochopitelně fotí. Nečekejte ani, že by vydávala jednu obrazovou publikaci za druhou - „na knihu člověk musí mít projekt, misi, myšlenku, cíl, aby knížka měla smysl." Když vymyslela, že se bude věnovat pandám, nejprve ji v National Geographic odmítli - podstatný byl ale projekt, ne smlouva, a tak se zakousla a celý cyklus uskutečnila ve vlastní produkci - a výsledek byl tak dobrý, že původně odmítající společnost dala kýžený článek na titulní stranu! „Nedívejte se kam chcete dojít, ale věnujete se tomu, pro co žijete, co vás zajímá. Až potom mohou přijít výsledky!" Natáčení tohoto Hausbotu proběhlo díky Czech Photo Centre, kam Ami přijeli jako porotkyně Czech Nature Photo.
We encourage all of our listeners to register for the free digital online edition of the Outdoor Photo/Video Travel Imaging Conference (OPTIC) 2020 hosted by B&H and sponsored by Panasonic, Sony, Nikon, Canon, FUJIFILM, Godox, and many others. As most of you know, the B&H Photography Podcast has regularly attended this annual conference, in New York, and recorded wonderful interviews with the likes of Michael Kenna, Joyce Tenneson, and Ron Magill. This year, the conference will be held online, but still with an incredible lineup of photographers and speakers, including keynotes speakers Ami Vitale and Clyde Butcher. On today’s episode of the podcast, we offer a taste of the photographic insight found at OPTIC. First, we welcome wildlife and bird photographer Lisa Langell, who is also at Tamron and FotoPro Ambassador. With her photo gracing the cover of the current issue of Outdoor Photographer magazine, Langell discusses creating wildlife photography for the home and hotel décor market, about her favorite places in Alaska to photograph bear, and about the personal and interactive way she hosts seminars and webinars. She provides food for thought to those looking for new ways to photograph wildlife. After a break, we welcome National Geographic photographer and Sony Artisan of Light Pete McBride. McBride speaks of his amazing 750-mile walk across the Grand Canyon, which became a NatGeo story, and also a book and a feature-length documentary. At OPTIC you will get the full story—from “River to Rim”—along with images, but we also spoke with McBride about his long-term work shooting the world’s river systems; we gained some insight into aerial photography; and learned how his Sony a7RII weathered a year in the Grand Canyon—and with which he created not only a magazine story, but a book and a movie with that one camera.

Ami Vitale is an award-winning National Geographic contract photographer, documentary filmmaker and a Nikon Ambassador. Ami has traveled to over 100 countries and focused her early career covering conflict and violence. She’s shifted her work to today’s most compelling wildlife and environmental stories. Ami recently published a best-selling book, Panda Love, on the secret lives of pandas. She lectures for the National Geographic LIVE series, and gives workshops throughout the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Her photographs have been commissioned by nearly every international publication and exhibited around the world in museums and galleries. In this episode, Ami takes us behind the scenes on some of her long term projects with elephants in Northern Kenya and last of the world’s northern white rhinos. She explains why she believes the indigenous communities she’s worked with hold the keys to saving what’s left. We talk about how photography helps us understand humanity, the natural world, our environment and universal truths. Ami tells us about being deported from a country where she had been working for five years on a National Geographic story and how what we may call failures can lead to our greatest transformations. We learn about her work with Ripple Effects Images helping tell stories about women who are being impacted by climate change. Ami encourages us to fall in love with the world around us, find long-term stories in our own backyards and that all of us need to use our voice to make a difference. This is We Are Photographers with Ami Vitale and this is her story.

La mejor manera de recibir atención completamente personalizada de un fotógrafo profesional sólo para ti. ¿Te apetece acompañarme? Fechas muy limitadas. APRENDE A DESCUBRIR Y FOTOGRAFIAR PAISAJES CERCANOS Seguro que alguna vez has escuchado comentarios como: “Es normal que hagas esas fotos porque viajas y visitas lugares impresionantes”, “Cerca de donde vivo solo hay paisajes normales y aburridos.” No es que todo sea normal, sino que los paisajes más cercanos te resultan familiares porque los ves muy a menudo y forman parte de tu rutina. Muchas veces miramos de refilón y sin prestar atención a lo que nos rodea y ahí es donde debemos reflexionar. Encontrar buenas fotografías no es fácil pero al menos debemos intentarlo. Hay algunas cosas sobre las que vamos a trabajar y una de ellas es la prisa: es necesario tomarse las salidas fotográficas con calma. No ir atropellados a intentar fotografiar 3 localizaciones. Baja la velocidad. Aprende a observar y a buscar escenas sencillas. Busca elementos que te inspiren. El entorno que te rodea ¿es tan ordinario como piensas? Cuando hago una fotografía de paisaje, generalmente busco un sujeto que toma el mayor protagonismo en la escena, pero no siempre construyo mis imágenes basándome solo en el sujeto. Muchas veces tengo claro que mis imágenes deben buscar y transmitir sensaciones y no solo mostrar sujetos. Por ejemplo, si fotografío el sol a través de las ramas de los árboles en un bosque, lo importante no será el bosque sino el momento en que esa luz crea la magia en esa imagen. ¿Es tan importante el bosque donde suceda? Reflexiona sobre ello. Es importante profundizar un poco más en los paisajes que ves e intentar recorrerlos y buscar sujetos que están ahí pero quizás no destacan ante tu mirada porque los ves habitualmente. No te limites a buscar la foto evidente y seguir hacia otra localización. Esa búsqueda del trofeo está bien como base pero tómate tu tiempo, recorre la zona y seguro que algo llamará tu atención. Cada vez que vayas a un lugar recibirás estímulos diferentes. Aprovéchate de esas diferencias porque seguro que verás fotos nuevas y frescas. El secreto es la exploración. Lo normal es que las mejores fotos de un fotógrafo sean de los lugares que más visita. Por lógica, si te pones como reto recorrer localizaciones cercanas, tus mejores fotos las harás en esas localizaciones. No acabo de entender muy bien que algunos fotógrafos se impongan la norma: “sólo hago fotografías cuando voy de viaje”. Marcarte esos límites no me parece una buena actitud en una disciplina creativa como es la fotografía. Es importante aprender a ver lo que te rodea con otros ojos y captarlo con tu cámara. Te voy a plantear un ejercicio que podrá ayudarte: Imagina que Sandra y yo vamos de visita a tu pueblo o ciudad. ¿A qué lugares nos llevarías a hacer fotos? ¿Qué rincones crees que serían los más fotogénicos? Piensa en lo que le gustaría ver a alguien que no conoce tu zona y ahí tienes un punto de partida para empezar a trabajar en tu entorno. Aprenderás a ver esos lugares con los ojos del forastero. Y este aprendizaje no solo te va a servir para tu entorno cercano sino que cuando viajes a lugares nuevos podrás captar detalles que antes pasaban desapercibidos.

Many photographers have abandoned neutral documentary photography in favor of advocating for environmental causes that are important to them. And with massive social media followings, photographers like Paul Nicklen, Ami Vitale and many others are helping to shine a spotlight on issues big and small, and using photography as a primary storytelling device. On this Earth Day, we celebrate the photographers who are advocating for clean water, endangered species, and a healthy planet.

After more than a decade covering conflict, photographer and filmmaker Ami Vitale couldn’t help but notice that the less sensational—but equally true—stories were often not getting told: the wedding happening around the corner from the revolution, triumphs amidst seemingly endless devastation. As a result, she re-committed herself to seeking out the stories within and around "the story". Ami is a photographer with National Geographic magazine, yet this episode of the podcast isn't expressly about photography. It's about human connection, how we listen to our inner compass and surface work that helps us find our true direction in life. In this episode: The stories we find in the headlines are only one view of the world. Yet if we just lift our head and gain a new perspective, we might see a completely different and untold story. Patience, hard work, and commitment open doors and opportunities. Real relationships with people or places takes time to build but with it comes powerful stories. What we tell ourselves shape our reality - and we can choose to tell ourselves stories that lift us. You’ll hear Ami articulate how she does this and how you can too... We are more alike than we are different. Realizing this can be a powerful force in unlocking the way you move through the world - with tangible benefits to be found... Enjoy!

Ami Vitale，国家地理杂志摄影师。只有爱世界，我们才会关心这个世界。一旦我们开始关心世界，我们就有勇气和创造力去奔向一个适宜我们自己和子孙后代居住的世界。
Ami Vitale国家地理杂志 摄影师以前在书本里，我们读到的非洲很贫穷，有战争和瘟疫，但我到了非洲后发现那里很美，那里有很多珍稀自然野生动物，我被那边的美景和人们深深打动，也因此改变了自己对世界的诸多看法。作为摄影师，我往往通过摄影作品来讲述各种故事。在工作数十年后，我意识到，所有的东西，健康、食物、衣服等等，看起来跟大自然毫无关系，但归根溯源，一切都与大自然息息相关。摄影的魅力在于它有着改变世界的力量，可以放大他人的声音。

Ami’s Wild Idea: To use photography to help people from around the world understand each other and connect. To raise awareness about cultures, communities, animals, and the environment. Ami Vitale is a world-class photographer who has traveled the world on assignment for publications like National Geographic and the Associated Press. She got her start in journalism working as a war correspondent, and now focuses on stories, videos and photos about culture, wildlife and the environment. As a storyteller, she’s traveled to over 90 countries, lived in mud huts and war zones, contracted malaria, and even donned a panda suit. In our conversation, you can hear how compassionate Ami is. She gives everything she has to her work, which is one reason she’s won so many awards and gets asked to give lectures and teach around the globe. She also donates proceeds of her work to benefit charities. You’ll be inspired to go out and do good in the world after this one. Presented by REI Listen to this episode if: You are a photographer or just like taking pictures. You want to help save the environment and animals. You love storytelling.

Two award-winning photographers on the importance of having women behind the lens. They tell Kim Chakanetsa what drives them, the challenges they face in the field and how they justify the amount of travel they do in the name of reversing climate change. Cristina Mittermeier is a Mexican photographer who grew up alongside indigenous Mexican tribes, and witnessed their struggle to maintain their way of life. As a teenager, she began to worry about the impact that overpopulation was having on the environment. She started out her career as a marine biologist, before deciding that her photos rather than her scientific journals could have more impact on the world. Ami Vitale is an American photojournalist who won a World Press Photo 2017 award for her series about Chinese panda breeding programmes. As a National Geographic photographer she has travelled to more than 90 countries around the world, and her work focusses on the conflict that often arises between humans and their environment. She is based in Montana, USA. Image (L) Cristina Mittermeierand (R) Ami Vitale Credit: (L) Paul Nicklen and (R) Ami Vitale

National Geographic Photographer and Nikon Ambassador Ami Vitale joins us on the show today, fresh off a return trip from China where she has been working on a project shooting the re-intergration of captive born Pandas to the wild. Although she is not known as a wildlife photographer, she has been thoroughly tested behind the lens and enjoys the pressure of stepping out of her comfort zone and approaching a new subject with an outsider's perspective. Ami grew up in South Florida and had a yearning to get out and see the world at a young age. Even then, she rejected the non stop development of her home town and felt the pull towards protecting the natural environment. After a stint working for the AP News, she finally decided to take the leap and travel the world with a camera in hand and document the human condition. During her extensive travels around the globe to over 90 countries, she has established herself as a presence in the world of photography and built a career that many people dream of. She has shot everything from conflict areas to rhinos and has had the opportunity to speak on many stages to talk about her adventures behind the lens. On this episode we talk about her love of nature, her desire to help tell the true story of the people and places that are so often misrepresented, what helps to keep her inspired to continue to create, and both of our mixed emotions and sometimes strained relationships with managing social media accounts. So enjoy this conversation with an inspiring and adventurous woman that proves that you can create the life you want if you work hard enough at it.

Ami Vitale’s journey as a photojournalist has taken her to 85 countries. She has witnessed civil unrest, poverty, destruction of life, and unspeakable violence. But she has also experienced surreal beauty and the enduring power of the human spirit, and she is committed to highlighting the surprising and subtle similarities between cultures. Her photographs have been exhibited around the world in museums and galleries and published in international magazines including National Geographic, Adventure, Geo, Newsweek, Time, and Smithsonian. Her work has garnered multiple awards from prestigious organizations including World Press Photos, the Lowell Thomas Award for Travel Journalism, Lucie awards, the Daniel Pearl Award for Outstanding Reporting, and the Magazine Photographer of the Year award, among many others. She has been working most recently with Ripple Effect Images, an organization of well-known scientists, writers, photographers and filmmakers with a mission of creating powerful and persuasive films and stories illustrating the very specific problems women in developing countries face and the programs that can help them. In 2010, Ami was a Senior Producer for Multimedia, at the Knight Center for International Media at the University of Miami School of Communication where she got her Masters and worked on a project on women’s pregnancy and infant mortality in Sierra Leone and a feature film about migration and climate change in Bangladesh.
