EPIC Impact Society honors humanitarian photographer with award

Among our EPIC Awards honorees this year is photographer and human humanitarian Lisa Kristine. One of several award winners who were included with dozens of thought-leaders who are all at the pinnacle of their respective industries sharing insights and experience in innovation, education, and entertainment. The EPIC Community Artist Award is presented to an individual that has demonstrated significant inspiration within a community and that has resulted in positive transformation.

Humanitarian photographer Lisa Kristine has photographed in more than 150 countries across six continents, meeting people at the level of the heart. Lisa champions causes such as indigenous wisdom, global unity, and modern slavery, mobilizing resources, and amplifying awareness, all in pursuit of a singular mission: to spark profound shifts in our global community.

Using her work as a catalyst, Lisa has addressed audiences worldwide, including at the United Nations, Parliament, Nobel Summits, Davos, and the Vatican. Her TED talk, "Photos That Bear Witness to Modern Slavery" was viewed over three million views.

Lisa's work has been described by David Clarke, former Head of Photography at the Tate Modern, as "a testament to truth and an insightful and inspiring body of evidence which should never and can never be denied."

Her work has received endorsements from figures such as Pope Francis, The Dalai Lama, and Amnesty International. Among several awards, her powerful work earned her a Lucie Humanitarian Award, presented at Carnegie Hall, honoring the greatest achievements of master photographers.

The Photographic Society of America selected Lisa as the recipient of the IUTP Award honoring significant contributions to the advancement of understanding among people and its unique impact on the world through photography.
