Celebrate 125 years of vivid storytelling through stunning photography, film, and interactive experiences.
For the last decade, some of the most powerful and impactful stories have been produced by a new generation of photojournalists who are women. These women are as different as the places and the subjects they have covered but they all share the same passion and commitment to storytelling that has come to define National Geographic.
In over twenty years of working for National Geographic, photographer Joel Sartore has learned the hard way that there’s more to the job than just traveling to exotic locales and shooting pictures. From being chased by angry and hungry animals to surviving multiple traffic accidents in far-flung places, things can go wrong in the field, and for Sartore, they often do.
