About Acclaimed humanitarian photographer Lisa Kristine in Perreault Magazine
Acclaimed
humanitarian photographer Lisa Kristine creates more than images, she inspires change.
A master storyteller, Lisa documents indigenous cultures in more than 100
countries on six continents, instinctively identifying the universal human
dignity in all of us. Awakening compassion and igniting action in a worldwide
audience with powerful, broad-sweeping images of courage and tender, intimate
portrayals, Lisa elevates significant social causes— such as the elimination of
human slavery and the unification of humanity—to missions. Her work resonates
in the heart and moves us to act.
Lisa
has gained broad recognition for her collaboration with the NGO Free the
Slaves. This breathtaking body of work, illuminating human enslavement, is brought
together in Slavery, published in 2010. Lisa has received global attention for
shining a light on contemporary slavery across media platforms, including CNN
and Reuters, speaking at TED events, museums, NGO’s, business conferences,
colleges and universities. Lisa was the recipient of the 2013 Lucie
Humanitarian Award, which honors the greatest achievements of master
photographers around the world.
Lisa
was the sole exhibitor at the 2009 Vancouver Peace Summit, attended by
His
Holiness the Dalai Lama and other award winning Nobel Laureates. Lisa has enabled
new social and financial capital for the causes she champions. Christie’s New
York, in celebration with Kofi Annan, has auctioned her images to benefit the United
Nations. The Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the Queen Mother of Bhutan and Amnesty
International, have
all
endorsed her work. Her photographs inspired the Make a Stand Lemonade
movement,
which has raised more than a million dollars and has enlightened the awareness
of over 100 million people toward the eradication of slavery. Lisa has
published 5 books and has been the subject of 4 documentaries. Her work on
Slavery is featured in two films released in 2014. One of these films, SOLD the movie, made by Oscar Award winning team, Emma Thompson and Jeffrey
Brown, includes a character
inspired
by Lisa and played by Gillian Anderson.
Lisa
continues to seek out projects in which her images can have a positive impact
in our world. Lisa’s purpose-driven interactions with diverse cultures, her
passionate sensitivity about the human condition, and her finely-tuned craft
produces truthful, profound images of the beauty, suffering, compassion—and
above all— the dignity of men, women and children around our world.
