ABOUT PETE MCBRIDE
As a National Geographic filmmaker and photographer, Coloradan Pete McBride has spent two decades studying the world with a camera. A self-taught photographer, filmmaker, writer, and public speaker, he is a Sony Artisan of Imagery and has traveled on assignment to over 75 countries for the National Geographic Society, Smithsonian, Google, The Nature Conservancy, and many more. After a decade documenting remote expeditions from Everest to Antarctica, McBride decided to focus his cameras closer to home on a subject closer to his heart—his backyard river, the Colorado. Four years and 1500 river miles later, McBride produced an acclaimed book and three award-winning documentaries and co-hosted a PBS TV program. National Geographic listed him as an Adventurer of the Year for trekking the length of Grand Canyon National Park — 750 miles without a trail — to highlight its beauty and development threats. The project yielded a book, Grand Canyon: Between River and Rim, and an Emmy-nominated documentary, Into the Canyon. McBride’s latest book is Seeing Silence, which explores the power and fragility of natural sounds and quietude and was named a top photography book of 2021 by Smithsonian Magazine. He holds a BA from Dartmouth College, was a Knight Journalism Fellow at Stanford, and resides in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
