124: Ami Vitale | One Of America's Great Photojournalists

🎙️: https://atlasgeographica.com/ami-vitale/

Ami Vitale is one of the worlds great photographers. 

She has lived in mud huts, war zones, battled malaria, donned a panda suit, was with the last living northern white rhino as he passed and has reported with intimacy from communities all over the world.

She is a Nikon ambassador, National Geographic photographer and just one of the coolest people I have ever gotten a chance to speak with on this podcast. 

In this podcast, Ami busts the old myth of national geographic photographers, she Confirms the risk and romance of journalistic adventure, but as well tampers my projections with a heartfelt dose of realism.
