Lynn Johnson photographs the human condition. A regular contributor to National Geographic, Johnson is known for finding beauty and meaning in elusive, difficult subjects—threatened languages, zoonotic disease, rape in the military ranks, the centrality of water in village life. She collaborates with the people she portrays to honor their visions as well as her own. At National Geographic Photo Camps, she helps at-risk youth around the world find their creative voices.
A photography editor at National Geographic for over 20 years, Elizabeth Krist is now on the boards of Women Photograph and the W. Eugene Smith Fund. A founding member of the Visual Thinking Collective, she works with the Eddie Adams Workshop, Apple, and teaches for ICP. Krist curated Women of Vision and co-curated three previous Photoville installations and CatchLight’s 2023 Visual Storytelling Summit. She has recently collaborated with Authority Collective, the Griffin Museum of Photography, FotoFest, Lenscratch, and the Joop Swart Masterclass.
