Andy Mann Biography

Andy Mann is an Emmy-nominated director, 12-time Telly Award-winning filmmaker, National Geographic photographer, and marine conservationist whose imagery documents environmental change and marine conservation. Mann, a Sony Artisan of Imagery, focuses on documenting and protecting marine environments through visual storytelling. After relocating to Colorado and developing an interest in rock climbing, Mann spent a decade contributing to climbing magazines and traveling internationally, which led to his collaboration with National Geographic. He also served as senior photographer at Climbing Magazine, with his work appearing in the New York Times.

Mann transitioned from mountain storytelling to ocean advocacy, following scientists to remote locations and diving with crocodiles, sperm whales, and sharks to capture marine ecosystems and promote their protection. His work with sharks has positioned him as a prominent voice in shark conservation, involving deep-sea submersible expeditions and free-diving. Mann partnered with Google Expeditions to develop a shark-tagging 360 VR classroom lesson plan and collaborates with NOAA on recovery plans for threatened species.

Mann's conservation efforts have influenced global marine policy. While working with National Geographic's Pristine Seas Expedition, the Russian Geographic Society recognized the program with the Crystal Compass Award for storytelling that contributed to the establishment of the world's largest Arctic national park in Franz Josef Land, Russia. He directed the first Oceano Azul Foundation expedition to the Azores, which resulted in the declaration of 150,000 square kilometers of new marine protected area in the Azorean Sea. His work in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean contributed to the creation of the first international marine protected area, leading to invitations from Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador, and Colombia during official ceremonies. Mann also co-founded the nonprofit SeaLegacy with Paul Nicklen and Cristina Mittermeier and co-directed the award-winning National Geographic/SeaLegacy expedition to Antarctica, presenting the work at the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting in Buenos Aires.

As co-founder of 3 Strings Productions, a commercial and documentary film studio, Mann produces imagery that highlights the impact of visual storytelling on environmental awareness. Through SeaLegacy, he develops storytelling assets to support marine protection campaigns and engages with audiences nationwide through National Geographic Live and educational outreach. Mann has also served as a judge for the Ocean Photography Awards. His work continues to shape the intersection of visual storytelling, ocean conservation, and environmental advocacy.
