Vital Impacts

National Geographic photographer and conservation activist Ami Vitale needs little introduction. Her work champions the wildlife and people that find themselves in front of her lens, and she shares their stories with empathy and dignity.

DIYP was lucky enough to talk to Ami and find out about what inspires her to keep seeking out these often soul-searching stories, and to hear about her latest project, Vital Impacts involving more than 100 eminent wildlife and nature photographers. And, of course, naturally, we had to find out what was in her camera bag!
