#107: In conservation photography, the imagery itself is just one part of the work that we really do.

It's step one. Step two is putting that imagery to work for the conservation causes that we care about.

I have such a thing for creative ways of visual storytelling that draw people in and allow them to have an immersive, amazing experience. It helps go beyond being *told* a conservation message and instead experiencing why that conservation message is important and internalizing it. 

This is something conservation visual storyteller Lianna Nixon has become an expert at. 

As a photographer, filmmaker, and educator, Lianna explores using all kinds of different storytelling and technology tools to build experiences around climate change.

She brings together activism, identity development, learning outcomes, and more to build projects that will, frankly, kind of blow your mind.

In this interview, Leanna talks about:

• her recent creative projects, including being part of the MOSAiC expedition
• important ways of thinking about how we approach the projects and also the people that we work with
• thinking about your subjects as collaborators in the storytelling process
• ethically telling the stories of communities that aren't your own

You're sure to walk away with a wealth of creative inspiration for your next visual story project.
