Cristina Mittermeier
Cristina Goettsch Mittermeier is one of conservation photography's newest proponents. Her work focuses on the delicate relationship between nature's most spectacular and endangered wildlife and Earth's vanishing traditional human cultures. This unique view of people and nature lies at the heart of her work and is the key to understanding why her images are so poignant and beautiful. Her ultimate mission is to reconnect people's lives to nature through the use of photography.
For Cristina, photography did not come as a first career choice. She was trained as a marine biologist and through the years became a biodiversity conservation consultant. The need to pick up a camera came after she had already published a number of scientific papers dealing with the loss of biodiversity and human cultures and she found herself short of words to express her emotional connection to the issues in which she was involved.
