Joel Sartore

For this FotoTV film we have asked Photographer Joel Sartore to talk with us about his nature photography.

Joel Sartore, photographer for National Geographic for more than 20 years, made his degree in journalism at the university of nebraska. It didn't take a long time till he discovered a passion for photography. He considers himself a photographic storyteller, which fits to his educational background. His main work consists of wildlife and enviromental photography.

Allthough some of the species he gets in front of his lenses are threatened with extinction, Joel still brings a sense of humor into his photographs.

The seriousness of his projects mainly reflects in the last sentence of this video:
"I hope my pictures can give a voice to the voiceless, before they´re gone."
