Lisa Kristine: Photographs of Modern Day Slavery on TEDx Maui

January 2012

Lisa Kristine is a world renowned humanitarian photographer who has traveled to remote regions of the world to document human misery.

A passionate speaker, she drags you from your chair into an underground tunnel in her first few sentences, taking you quickly into the horror of slavery.

Lisa shocks the audience with the devastating statistics on simple yet bold slides, deepening the audience’s shock and realization that slavery does still exist…in many

parts of our world.

Just when the horror seems unbearable, she brings you back out of the tunnel into the light.

Lisa easily and passionately follows Nancy Duartes successful storytelling guide, taking the audience into the depths and then lifting us back out for a breath of air.

I give Lisa Kristine a

5 out of 5 in Dynamism

Sir Ken Robinson draws the audience in with laughter, his ability to joke at his own expense seems to make him more trustworthy and believable. He is very sincere and

passionate about his ideas; he also follows Ms. Duarte’s chart.

Sir Ken delivers his ideas successfully: A happy audience will relive the enjoyment AND the information.

A very enjoyable and memorable speaker.

Lisa Kristine captures her audience with disbelief…

…with sadness…

…with horror and then empathy.

Ashamed of the Human Race.

Lisa’s slides and videos were simple, heart-rending and well placed, acting as punctuation for her talk.

A deliberate speaker, with well placed dramatic pause and unflinching eye contact with her audience.

Lisa Kristine is a perfect example to follow for a dramatic speech.

“Few artists know how to capture the diversity and dignity of indigenous people. Lisa Kristine’s portraits exquisitely convey their silenced messages.”
