Annie Griffiths Belt Photograph by Linda Johansson
One of the first female staff photographers hired at National Geographic, Annie Griffiths Belt's assignments have included stories about
Jerusalem, the spectacular ancient ruins of Petra in Jordan,
England's Lake District, Lawrence of Arabia, and the
Badlands region of South Dakota.
When her children (daughter Lily and son Charlie) were
born, she took them right along on her assignments, turning what
some might see as an obstacle into an opportunity.
"In some of these cultures, I'm a bizarre character—a woman from another world, traveling without a chaperone,"
she explains. "The fact that I'm a mother provides common ground." In a presentation based on her new National Geographic book, A Camera, Two Kids, and a Camel, Belt shares the
secrets of her peripatetic life, and relates intimate moments and touching stories, along
with her portfolio of emotionally rich photographs.
Hear Annie Griffiths Belt narrate a slide show of her work.
