Three environmentalists from Vancouver Island are collaborating with top wildlife photographers from across the world in an effort to further ocean conservation.
100 For the Ocean was conceived by Nanaimo’s Chase Teron and Nanoose Bay couple Paul Nicklen and Cristina Mittermeier, who aligned 100 photographers from more than 15 countries to participate in the project. The unique images — presented in small quantities as limited edition prints — are available for sale online until May 31, with 100 per cent of the net proceeds going to ocean conservation.
Teron, Nicklen and Mittermeier and six other photographers from the Vancouver Island area — Mark Williams, Taylor Burk, Marcelo Johan Ogata, David duChemin, Jenni Teron, and Kris Gillies — contributed images. Prices start at $100 US, which is “a fraction of what someone would normally have to pay” to acquire an image from some of the photographers involved, Teron said.
100 For the Ocean was curated by Kathy Moran, the former deputy director of photography for National Geographic, with whom organizers have worked in the past. She compiled the images by the participants, which include Steve McCurry, whose acclaimed Afghan Girl portrait is among the most recognizable photos in the world; Academy Award winner Jimmy Chin, who co-directed the documentary Free Solo; and Jodi Cobb, a former White House photographer of the year.
