My name is Asher Svidensky. I'm a freelance photographer & film director, specializing in large-scale productions and with a strong passion for the art of storytelling. After completing my service as a military photographer (at the rank of staff sergeant with honors) I decided to pick up my camera bag and follow my dream of becoming a traveling photographer.
Since then, my main body of work as a photographer has been published in a variety of magazines, newspapers, and media outlets all around the world. Most notably of which are National Geographic, BBC, UNICEF, The Guardian, GEO, Bored Panda, UNILAD and many more. As a film director, I've directed a series of short films for UNICEF, Mohammed Bin Zayed Wildlife Fund, Swiss Development Cooperation and other international NGOs and commercial companies - the latest of which was a short film named "Changing Skies" which has premiered in the recent COP26.
I've also had the privilege to lecture about my work and artistic views from prestige stages such as Oxford Natural Museum, Asia & Pacific UN Headquarters, the Australian Embassy of Mongolia, PPOC, and MGM Macau. As well as giving two different TEDx talks on the topics of photography and the art of storytelling.
Trained as I scientist, I’ve come to realize that it’s stories, not science, that will save our Planet. Asher is an extraordinary storyteller, enabling the world to see what’s at stake for our Earth through the eyes of real people on the ground – the real protagonists. His work helped us immensely to create a game-changing deal for nature in Mongolia, and for that we are grateful.

Asher is one of the most talented storytellers I’ve met. His exceptional visuals and knack for captivating narratives led to top-tier productions. I collaborated with him on two impactful films in Monoglia and the Western Balkan that reached millions and garnered the attention and support we needed. If you want a filmmaker who crafts stories that resonate look no further
