National Geographic by Leah Bendavid-Val6/20/2023 Author Leah Bendavid-Val writes about the photographers’ achievements from technical, journalistic, and artistic perspectives.įive chapters cover core National Geographic themes-wildlife on land and water cultures in the United States and around the world and science, from astronomy to archaeology to the human senses. They share their techniques, as well as personal and colorful anecdotes about individual images and their adventures in the field-sometimes humorous, sometimes terrifying, always vividly compelling. The book showcases the skill and imagination of such notable Geographic photographers as David Doubilet, William Albert Allard, Sam Abell, Jim Stanfield, Jodi Cobb, Jim Brandenburg, David Alan Harvey, and many more. From the famous Afghan girl whose haunting green eyes stare out from the book’s cover, and her poignant story that captured the world’s interest, to award-winning photography culled from the Society’s vast archives, The Photographs offers readers an inside look at National Geographic and a sharp-eyed view of the world. This stunning volume was the gift book of the year when it first published, and the images that grace its pages remain iconic.
