Kiliii Yüyan: National Geographic Photographer on Creative Vision and the Magic Sweater Exercise, The Art of Observation, and Traditional Ecological Knowledge.

Kiliii Yüyan is a photographer, filmmaker, public speaker, and National Geographic Explorer. He captures life of the polar regions, beneath cold seas, and within the heart of human communities. His photographs are intimate and sensory, crafted from deep, long-term immersion. Of Chinese and Nanai/Hèzhé (East Asian Indigenous) descent, he works through a cross-cultural lens, exploring how humanity—inseparable from nature—lives in relationship with land and sea.
