Lianne Thompson

Lianne is a science communicator, expedition leader, and conservation photographer with a background in zoology and a deep passion for connecting people to the natural world through storytelling. Her work spans some of the planet’s most remote and spectacular regions—from the fjords of Greenland and volcanoes of Iceland to the wild coasts of British Columbia, the tundra of Northern Canada, and the icy expanse of Antarctica. As a guide and educator, she leads conservation-focused photography expeditions designed to foster a sense of awe, understanding, and stewardship.

Lianne’s interests lie in human-wildlife coexistence and the role ethical wildlife tourism and visual storytelling can play in conservation. She believes photography is not just about capturing beauty, but about deepening our relationship with the world around us. A single image has the power to bring people into a moment—to feel the chill of polar air, the scent of a mossy forest, or the quiet intimacy of observing wildlife in its element.

Now based in British Columbia, Lianne continues to use photography as both a mindful practice and a powerful conservation tool. Through her work, she hopes to inspire curiosity, encourage protection of wild spaces, and support meaningful connections between people and planet.
