Jeff Litton: Using your Lens to Advocate Wilderness
Using your Lens to Advocate Wilderness is about the stories we tell and why. Each of us have passions in life, and photography is a tool that we can use to celebrate, share, and protect the places and things we are passionate about. This presentation will help you become a better story teller using both photography and video.
As a National Geographic Educator and Certified Photo Instructor, I’m excited to share with you exciting stories, photos, and short films from a decade of adventures working in conservation. We’ll go face-to-face with Hammerhead Sharks in Galápagos, and the evermore dangerous shark fishermen, to the celebrated wilderness of Baja California and the Sea of Cortez. We’ll bring the presentation back home, and look at the hidden Bear River that most people have never seen.
Jeff Litton has been working on the National Geographic & Lindblad Expeditions ships since 2009, where he’s worked as a naturalist, certified photo instructor, expedition filmmaker, tour leader, and undersea specialist. These travels have taken Jeff from Alaska to Antarctica, and from Egypt to Easter Island. Jeff has had 10 films at the Wild and Scenic Film Festival, and his works have been in National Geographic Magazine and on the National Geographic channel.
