Our hand-picked team of global media-makers puts quality first. Through stunning photography, videography, and graphic recording, we make your work come alive. In the summer of 2011, many of the photographers that would go on to start the Survival Media Agency found ourselves spending countless hours in the sweltering heat outside of The White House. Together, we documented a historic moment in the climate movement: the Tar Sands Action, when 1,252 people were arrested in an unprecedented civil disobedience to protest the Keystone XL Pipeline. Through this experience, we learned a whole lot about the transformative potential of visual media. The photos we took were in national news outlets and went viral on social networks — and have remained a critical tool ensuring the ongoing delay of the pipeline’s construction. We realized that to grow this vital movement, we’d need to keep telling powerful visual stories — and the Survival Media Agency was born.
