National Geographic magazine photographer Joel Sartore
shoots in some of the most exotic locales on earth, but often in
wretched conditions for weeks on end. On the job, he's been chased
by bears, wolves, alligators and musk oxen. Capturing the beauty of
Sandhill cranes in Nebraska or the tropical Amazon jungle, Sartore
pursues the perfect image - photographs form the narrative for
every National Geographic article. This documentary shows
Sartore in consultation with National Geographic photo
editors in Washington, DC, as thousands of individual frames are
whittled down to the 10 or 20 that will accompany a typical
magazine story. Sartore thinks the majority of Americans want to
know that the wild and natural world still exists. National
Geographic brings that idea home.
