Using Photography to Generate Change | New Blog Post

Conservation photography lies at the intersection of art and communication. It can be documentary, capturing the unfolding events of an environmental issue or purely conceptual, expressing ideas through materials like ocean trash.

We gathered 4 of our Ambassadors using photography in different ways to talk about all of the ways it can generate change.

Thanks to @sophiedingwall @jamierandimaging @ocean_trash and @nikkeydawn for their amazing insights.

To read more about photography's change-making power, follow the #linkinbio to our website blog.
