Upcoming Presentation
Hidden Worlds, Urgent Stories - Photography at the Forfront of Conservation
“From behind-the-scenes of Expedition Unknown to the depths of Lake Superior via manned submersible, Chris has compiled an extraordinary range of experiences, all documented through his photography. This presentation aims to highlight the importance of visual storytelling as a bridge between exploration, science, and public understanding. Through a series of case studies drawn from marine archaeological expeditions and conservation-focused fieldwork, Chris will demonstrate how imagery can transform complex subjects into clear, compelling narratives.
Such narratives include the search for historic minesweepers in Lake Superior, documenting ongoing cyanobacteria research in freshwater systems, and capturing high-resolution imagery of the Gunilda during submersible-based exploration. Together, these projects illustrate how visual storytelling can connect audiences to submerged cultural heritage and pressing environmental issues, making them both accessible and meaningful.”
