Katie Bryden defines herself as a ‘cause-based conservation filmmaker’. She believes that conservation has an ugly history of marginalising and evicting the indigenous peoples and local communities living in ecosystems designated for protection, that’s why her work focuses on her commitment to telling conservation stories that respect indigenous and local community rights and voices, and human rights more broadly. She hopes to use her work to inspire an equitable and prosperous future in harmony with nature while maintaining healthy and sustainable ecosystems, for everyone.⁠ ⁠ Follow Katie's underwater journey @ktbryden and read more about her life and work at www.oceanculture.life/storytellers⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #oceanstoryteller #storytellersofthesea #underwaterphotography #oceanstories #conservation #oceanculturelife #underwaterbeauty #marineconservation #saveouroceans #storytelling #visualstorytelling #lifestories⁠ #photographer⁠ #collaborating #community #photographycommunity
