Take a look at what really goes on during a shoot with National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore. See what it's really like to be on assignment and bring back photos of some of the world's most unusual wildlife.

    nice coverage, really fun to watch. I think people can be just as difficult sometimes and they even understand what your saying.

    Nice! You can plan a lot on shooting animals, but in the end you'll be surprised!

    This video was featured on a discussion in the Guardian about cruelty to animals in filmmaking.
  • Joel Sartore plus 1 month ago
    These videos were made with the help and support of trained animal keepers at rescue facilities and AZA-accredited zoos. The animals are educational animals who are accustomed to being handled and taken to schools and community events. They were all returned to their normal activities, unharmed, when photography was finished.

    I also saw that - I'm amazed to see how you force endangered species to pose for photos!

    PS: Pls don't take this as a personal attack. It rather is the state of things and in some sense the human helplessness.

    @Anton, Purple Haze and James Berk : The question is not between wrong and right, it never has been. It is between two wrongs ! One has to choose between them and silence is a choice too, albeit a greater wrong at times. He is availing his choice to speak out about it, in the "least wrongful" and "most loud" way he can. That is about his choices, what about ours, what are we doing about it ? Are we exercising our choices without fear, on what is right or are we hiding behind the veils afraid to act, behind the veil of silence ? I guess we all need to act to make a greater good to come out of it, the little we can. Be the excessive use of tissues, or water or any of other things we consume. All of them are connected, in ways we can't fully understand or comprehend.

    @Joel : You are a true inspiration and thanks for the great work, for inspiring and motivating us. Thanks for speaking for those who don't have voices, and for being patient with us for being foolish to think they have no effects on our lives.
