Photograph by Annie Griffiths Belt
For more than 25 years, Annie Griffiths Belt has circled the globe capturing stunning images and living one adventure after another—from traveling with Bedouins in the Middle East to swimming with sea turtles in the Galápagos Islands. Along the way, she married National Geographic Senior Editor, Don Belt, had two children, and kept right on going with youngsters in tow.
Belt’s touching encounters and delightful sense of humor have brought her adventures to life for audiences all over the world. In her richly illustrated presentations, she shares her stories of the people and places she has visited and of the rewarding journeys between here and there.

A Camera, Two Kids and a Camel
As perhaps the only photographer in history to pack her camera gear in Pampers, Belt has blazed a trail for other photographers, and other working parents. With warmth and humor, she explores the realities of juggling family and career as she travels the world for National Geographic.
Last Stand: America’s Virgin Lands
The book Last Stand, published with Poisonwood Bible author Barbara Kingsolver, captures and celebrates the United States’ last unspoiled places through Kingsolver’s words and Annie’s hand-tinted infrared photographs. The presentation celebrates well-known and hidden environmental treasures, while working to preserve and protect what remains.
