Kristian Schmidt Talks Photography

Media Nite Radio

Media Nite Radio welcomes world renowned photographer, Kristian Schmidt to the airwaves. Audiences know Kristian from his Grammy nominated music videos as well as his wildlife/fashion photography. Kristian was born in New York but moved to Paris shortly thereafter. He spent some time in Sweden but after high school packed up and moved to Tokyo. He started his career as a model then moved onto directing music videos and now is a wildlife/fashion photographer who brings awareness to animals that most people would not get close to. His popular Whale Shark Series was the first to use beautiful models swimming next to the world's biggest shark. This also raised awareness of the plight of the whale shark species. Similarly, Kristian did a piece on the elephants and raised awareness through his photography with the dangers of elephant poaching. Not only has Kristian tackled the world of modeling, directing, photography but is also entering the world of acting. Kristian's new show, Kristian's World coming soon to Cinemax, is the next adventure for this fascinating man. Here is a teaser for the new series, Kristian's World: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rND8BYnHIU8 To view Kristian's photography: www.kristianschmidt.co
