Join Bryan Smith, an award-winning
filmmaker for the National Geographic
Channel, as he shares stories of high
adventure from his assignments in the
world’s most challenging environments.
For Smith, extreme means “whatever is
scary for you,” and he repeatedly tests his
own limits while using innovative technical
solutions to capture dizzying images.
National Geographic magazine photographer Joel Sartore invites
students to think like a photojournalist, and illustrates his stories
with striking and often humorous pictures and video. Whether
being chased by hungry animals or surviving perilous expeditions
in far-flung places, Sartore puts himself at risk to bring readers
and viewers incredible images of a world well worth saving.
