For more than 100 years (established in 1888), national geographic has brought us the world. Beginning with many articles and hardly any photos, and proceeding to becoming a huge source for amazing photography, with its photographers travelling to the furthest (and most beautiful) corners of the worlds to tell us a visual story of our planet - its animals, its landscapes and even its people. Before you is a collection of some of the most amazing photos national geographic has taken in the last couple of years. See for yourself the talent that goes into every gorgeous photo. |
To be a national geographic photographer means incredibly hard work that requires huge amounts of patience, but it also means creating some of the most envied and stunning photos the world has seen. |
Each photo has a story behind it, many hours of trekking, patient waiting and much work to find a perfect moment. |
