Cristina Goettsch Mittermeier

Everything I photograph is colored by the experiences I have had through my life: growing up in Mexico, being a marine biologist, raising children, writing, traveling all over the world, and a 20 year-long career in conservation.

As the Founder and President of the International League of Conservation Photographers I was able to use all the lessons and skills I have learned to further my life’s mission: using photography to protect our planet’s precious resources. This continues to be my mission and I am increasingly interested in the relationship between people and the natural world around them.

Where the journey takes me from here is defined by who I am today: a photographer.
