Ian Shive - Exploring the Hidden Pacific - a podcast by CreativeLive

Ian Shive is an award-winning filmmaker and photographer whose work documents some of the world’s most pristine environments and brings to the public important conservation stories from around the globe. In 2015, he led a team of filmmakers and scientists on a groundbreaking mission in Cuba for Discovery Channel’s “Shark Week” and over the past few years he has launched several expeditions to document for the first time some of the Pacific Ocean’s most remote marine national monuments for two films, Midway: Edge of Tomorrow and Hidden Pacific. Ian is the founder of Tandem Stills + Motion, a leading outdoor photography and film production company.

In this episode, Ian takes us on an exploration from filming great white sharks in Cuba to albatross on Midway Island to the vibrant underwater life surrounding several protected atolls in the Pacific. In a time of extreme environmental threats to our planet, Ian explains why he’s chosen to primarily focus on stories of hope. We go back to 8-year old inquisitive Ian who felt connected to nature from a young age and how the immersive experience of viewing Hidden Pacific in IMAX theaters will hopefully gift youth across the world that same connection to nature. Hear about partnering with organizations such as the Nature Conservancy, the Sierra Club, the National Parks Conservation Association, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and all about the latest inspiring work of Tandem Stills + Motion.

This is We Are Photographers with Ian Shive and this is his story.
