Kristian Schmidt
Miami, FL United States
Profile Type: artist
Kristian explores a variety of themes including the juxtaposition of combining fashion and wildlife which has gained him international recognition. His highly popular Whale Shark Series captured a concept that has never been seen before — beautiful models swimming next to the world’s largest shark – and brought together a team focused on raising awareness for the at-risk species. Through his photographic projects capturing wildlife, Kristian has become active in wildlife conservation. As an advocate for WildAid, his projects aim to protect endangered species and raise awareness on the growing illegal trade of animal and sea-life poaching.
