Caitlin Ochs is a Visual Storyteller in love with exploring the world through the edges of her viewfinder.

With an approach based on building meaningful connections with the people and communities she documents, Caitlin finds joy in creating compelling, authentic visuals that inspire people to learn more about the world and visual narratives that illuminate connections between people and their environments.

Her editorial and commercial projects have taken her underwater, high in the air, across deserts, onto snowshoes, and into the center of breaking news stories spanning protests, politics, and extreme weather.

As a National Geographic Explorer and member of the Society of Environmental Journalists, she has documented freshwater issues and agricultural communities in the western United States extensively.

Caitlin's photographic work is frequently included in edits of The New York Times and Reuters Pictures of the Year, and print editions of the American Photographer. Her reporting series on the Colorado River with Buzzfeed News was a feature finalist of Covering Climate, selected from entries submitted from journalists globally.
