Summary
Originally from New York City, Tish Lampert has spent her career documenting the front lines of human rights and social change. Among her most meaningful experiences was photographing Dr. Jane Goodall—a privilege she had on three separate occasions. In 2013, Dr. Goodall contributed a powerful statement to accompany Tish’s portrait of her for a United Nations exhibition, reflecting the compassion and conviction that define her life’s work. Through her lens, Tish sought to capture not only Dr. Goodall’s likeness but the spirit of empathy and activism that continues to inspire millions.
"The least I can do is speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves. Especially now, when views are becoming increasingly polarized, we must work to understand one another across political, religious, and national boundaries. Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference."—Dr. Jane Goodall, British Primatologist, Ethologist, Anthropologist, and UN Goodwill Ambassador
