Cristina Mittermeier
Conservationist and photographer
Cristina 'Mitty' Mittermeier began her career as a marine biologist in her native Mexico, and soon discovered the power of imagery in ocean advocacy work.
She went on to become an internationally recognised National Geographic photographer, public speaker and founder of The International League of Conservation Photographers. In 2014, she co-founded SeaLegacy, the international conservation and production organisation.
Mittermeier is a Sony Artisan of Imagery and is the recipient of many prestigious awards, including the Smithsonian Conservation Photographer of the Year Award and the Imaging Award for Photographers Who Give Back.

Beginning her career as a marine biologist, Cristina Mittermeier turned to photography as a way of increasing awareness of her cause. She has gone on to become an internationally recognised photographer and public speaker. Founder of The International League of Conservation Photographers and co-founder of SeaLegacy with her partner, Paul Nicklen, she expanded that work in 2020, with the formation of Only One, a digital action platform built to support and uplift the ocean conservation community while driving action to achieve measurable, sustainable and equitable returns for people and the ocean.
