My name is Asher Svidensky. I’m a film director and freelance photographer, specializing in multicultural productions and driven by a deep passion for the art of storytelling.
As a director, my films have supported key initiatives for international NGOs such as the United Nations, The Nature Conservancy, Swiss Development Cooperation, and People in Need. Through powerful visual narratives, my work has helped raise funds, shift perceptions, and engage global audiences. Several of my films have received international recognition, premiering at major events including Sundance festival (The Eagle Huntress, Sony) and COP26 (Changing Skies, UNICEF).
As a photographer, my work has been featured in leading publications around the world, including National Geographic, BBC, The Guardian, and GEO. I’m currently working on a cross-cultural book titled The Successors, which documents rare and remarkable traditions through the personal stories of their modern-day inheritors.
Beyond filmmaking and photography, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my work and creative approach on prestigious stages such as the Oxford Natural History Museum, the UN Headquarters for Asia & the Pacific, PPOC, MGM Macau, and through two TEDx talks on 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.
