Conservation photographer and filmmaker, Kristi Odom has worked in some of the earth’s most remote locations to help document stories that will help protect our planet’s biodiversity. Informed by her experience working as an associate fellow for the International League of Conservation Photographers and as a contributing photographer for National Geographic, Kristi explores the role of photography in environmental advocacy. Her work has helped raise hundreds of thousands for the restoration and protection of our planet’s climate change fighters, from mangroves and grasslands to our pollinators.  

Her accolades include over 60 international photography awards.  She was included in National Geographic’s 2021 collection for Best Animal Photos, and her work has been exhibited at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History.  Her work has appeared online and/or in print for the following clients: National Geographic, Washington Post, New York Times, Forbes, Rollingstone, Nikon, Microsoft, and Outside Magazine.

Kristi believes strongly in teaching about the power of photography to help create positive change and ultimately help protect the planet’s wildlife.
