Ami Vitale named ‘Women photographers working in wildlife and conservation you should follow.’
05 / 27 / 2026
Return to BlogI’m honored to be featured in a recent article by Amateur Photographer highlighting women photographers working in wildlife and conservation. The feature celebrates photographers whose work is helping shape conversations around nature, conservation, and our relationship with the planet.
What makes this recognition especially meaningful is being included alongside so many extraordinary women photographers I know, admire, and deeply respect. Many of these photographers have also generously contributed their imagery to Vital Impacts print sale initiatives, helping raise critical support for conservation, storytelling, and emerging photographers around the world.
I have always believed that photography has the power to build empathy, create connection, and inspire action. It is incredibly moving to see so many women using visual storytelling to challenge perspectives, celebrate the beauty of our world, and advocate for wildlife, communities, and the future of our planet.
The article highlights a diverse group of photographers working across wildlife, environmental storytelling, conservation photojournalism, and advocacy. Each of them brings a unique perspective and voice to this work, and I encourage you to explore the full article and spend time with their incredible imagery.
I’m deeply grateful to be part of this community and thankful to everyone who continues to support storytelling as a force for hope, connection, and meaningful change.
