Video Photography and TED Talk "Viewing Humanity" by Lisa Kristine

Watch Ted Talk "Lisa Kristine: Photos That Bear Witness to Modern Slavery"

Since I first met her, I have admired Lisa Kristine. She is a San Francisco based photographer specializing in indigenous peoples worldwide. Through her work, Lisa wishes to encourage a dialogue about the beauty, diversity and hardship of our inter-locking world. The more meaning born in the images, the deeper that dialogue may be. Lisa Kristine's photography is stunningly beautiful portraits of truth in Soul.
