Known for her unique style of photojournalism, Britta Jaschinski has been named one of the most influential photographers of our time. She has won numerous international awards and works with authorities, charities, museums, institutions and environmental organisation, documenting crimes against wildlife and nature. Her images are published in magazines, newspapers and books worldwide and exhibited in galleries and museums. When not on assignment, she will be a Speaker at photo festivals, or conservation events with large, international audiences. Her investigative images and multimedia shows can be hard-hitting and yet they are inspiring. Born and raised in Germany, Jaschinski lives currently in London, UK.
Jaschinski is the co-creator and editor of two acclaimed initiatives: Photographers Against Wildlife Crime joined forces to use their iconic images to help bring an end to the illegal wildlife trade in our lifetime. The project brought together some of world’s best visual story tellers and the campaign is making a valuable addition to a constructive dialogue among influencers, law and policy makers worldwide, and even in Asia, about the need to end the demand for wildlife products. Subsequently Jaschinski was asked to speak at the YIXI - Get Inspired (equivalent to TED talk) in China. The talk was seen by thousands in just a few days and prompted the Chinese State owned publisher to invite Jaschinski, to produce a book campaign, specifically aimed at wildlife consumers in Asia, to highlight the devastating consequences of biodiversity loss and the connection between the wildlife trade and viral pandemics. Her most recent work is The Evidence Project - a collection of her own images and photographs by some of world’s best photographers. The hand selected photos are ‘the evidence’ to call upon governments, law makers, opinion shapers and the general public, to make the right choices to secure a safe future for humans and animals alike.
