    5:08 what's the photographer name??

  2. Karma Zangpo says

    I wish one of these photojournalists would make a video about the process of becoming a photographer. What degree they got and what they did and how they did it and how it led to them being a photojournalist.

  3. Ang Atiqah Marius says

    I want to be like them!! I love photography

  8. Kevin Liwang says

    Where is the master Steve McCurry? We miss him.

  9. Kevin Smith says

    I think what I would want to capture with photography is the good things that happen in the world. Because we have been taking it for granted for so long that it's the good that's natural, and the bad that is unnatural. Not true. The bad, and evil is natural. The good, and divine is unnatural. I've had to think about it for quite a while but once I compared that concept to reality, it was a complete match. With photography I would want to capture the fascinating parts of the globe where people are charitable, display integrity, respectful, and pursue happiness through virtue. It's easy to capture people's attention with horror, but it's much harder to capture the attention of those same people with something good and divine. For the photographers who are capable of capturing life's most wonderful and virtuous moments and make them awe-inspiring; more power to you.

    The lack of diversity is disappointing. Let me guess, not one photographer of color qualified?

  11. cameraman655 says

    Wow……..all of those overblown hot-aired egos surprised that they did not all float away. They are truly in love with themselves.

  12. Johnathan Wenig19 says

    You saw it here first. I'll be up there with the greats.

  17. Honza Marek says

    Alway look for energy

  18. Jerry qin says

    I have a question, when you take photos like that or even street photos with people in it. Do you need them to sign consent forms or how do you approach that situation?

  19. Dennis Juarez says

    We need more of these videos

  20. Adith Prakash says

    RESPECT;)

  21. Megan Durkin says

    Dream job right here. It's amazes me how I can relate to someone so much. 14 years old and I look up to these people so much and all of these other photographers and can't help but say "that's what I want to do for the rest of my life" or "I wish I could be just like them." I want to travel the world and take photographs of all of the things that amaze me to a level I can't explain.

  22. Shine Huang says

    these are truly amazing photographers here!

  23. Ryan Lindsey says

    Finnaly, a motivational video for photographers.

  24. Farwin Mecpast says

    For me,
    Photography is a way in which we can not only capture but also transfer the feeling and the emotion that the photographers feel while capturing that small little moment.

  25. Jason Bourne says

    name of that song in the end ?

  26. Floyd chand says

    hats off to you all.

  44. Arnaud Lerondeau says

    So many, most sinceres tranks for this National Geographic !

  45. Michael Stewart says

    Still photography gives us the opportunity to stop time and look deeper. We capture a moment that can then be shared and examined for eternity. A moment or an experience cannot be fully explained in a single frame, but that single still frame may be the best way to tell the story in a contemplative way. That being said; photographers are great story tellers and some of the best liars, so don't believe everything you think you are seeing.

  46. Brenda Sánchez says

    Very inspiring
