Connection and Purpose: Tales of a Polar Photographer | Camille Seaman | TEDxSMU

How does an indigenous woman end up as a National Geographic photographer, TED Senior Fellow, Stanford Knight Fellow and most recently Cinereach FIR Fellow? Come enjoy the skillful story telling of Camille Seaman as she shares the inspirational and serendipitous details of her life’s journey. Camille Seaman is a photographer whose work focuses on the fragile environments, extreme weather, and stark beauty of the natural world—from the deep greys of supercell storm clouds to the shocking blue of icebergs. As a TED Fellow and speaker, she urges us to connect to our surroundings: “I was taught from a very young age that we are connected to everything, that everything has a life force.”

Camille strongly believes in capturing photographs that articulate that humans are not separate from nature. Her work has been featured globally in publications, including National Geographic and TIME and The New York Times. She has won many awards, is a Senior TED Fellow as well as a Stanford Knight Fellow. Seaman advocates the importance of recognizing the relationship between humans and their natural surroundings. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
