Conversations: Ami Vitale

Image of Ami Vitale, wading through stomach-deep water that goes up to her stomach while holding her camera high.

Award-winning photographer Ami Vitale has seen the best of humanity and the worst of humanity. She’s documented war and conflict, nature, wildlife, and conservation in places from Kashmir to China and Kenya. 

On this episode of Threshold Conversations, we hear the incredible stories behind some of Ami’s most iconic images—including her photo of a northern white rhino that was on the cover of National Geographic; what she sees as the importance of storytelling; and why she’s hopeful for our future. 

On Thursday, September 10, we hosted a live taping of this episode. You can make a donation to get access to a recording of the event, details here.
