An Intimate Evening with one of the World’s Most Influential Photographers.

From ocean shores to some of the most remote indigenous communities in the world, photographer Cristina Mittermeier explores humanity’s relationship with the planet and possibilities for a mindful, sustainable future.

Inspiring and uplifting, Cristina takes us on a journey to the place where the oceans and its creatures meet humanity: the water's edge. A virtuous mind and voice in conservation photography and one of the most influential female photographers in the world, Cristina has been hailed as one of the most important outdoor photographers of this generation.

“The Water’s Edge,” draws out Cristina’s philosophy for a mindful and sustainable way of being in the world. Bringing together photographs from some of the most isolated corners of the earth, her presentation brings audiences into her first hand experiences with wild animals, remote landscapes, and indigenous peoples—challenging the cult of material wealth and proposing alternatives for a meaningful and sustainable connection to our environment, each other, and ourselves.

Trained as a marine biologist and a photographer, the Mexico City-born Mittermeier combines her work behind the lens with her passion for environmentalism, taking pictures in some of the world's most remote areas in order to explore our relationship to the earth and ocean and draw attention to the beauty and the plight of our planet.

Cristina is a National Geographic Photographer, Co-founder and Vision Lead at the conservation society, SeaLegacy, a Sony Artisan of Imagery, the editor of 25 coffee table books on conservation issues and the founder of the International League of Conservation Photographers (ILCP). She is also a sought after keynote speaker and presenter. Most recently, Cristina was acknowledged as one of National Geographic's Adventurers of the Year for 2018 and is a National Geographic Woman of Impact.
