Maple Shade Moorestown Camera Club Reviews Nat Geo's The Photographers

We presented this video to our camera club which comprises of novice and professional photographers and it was a big hit! You get the behind the scenes set ups, and the various photographers talk about their work, why they chose to be with Nat Geo, they're feelings and opinions of the work they do and how they think about what affect the shots will have on their readers. It's not all that glamorous, and that's fine because live isn't always glamorous. The content portrays what they do is very rewarding, especially when it evokes readers to contact the magazine and/or the photographer to say they were touched by the photos. One such story relayed was that school children had collected money for children in need in Africa and sent it to a mission there. Some subjects' lives have been followed after the photos were published to see how they are, while friendships forged by the photographer and their subjects were portrayed. You can't beat the amazing nature photography, as you learn so much about animals, their habitat and the people who strive to study them and struggle to help them survive. The variety of photographers they interviewed about their work which is displayed while they are discussion it is insightful. You do not have to be a photographer to appreciate this video. It has a few violent/ graphic scenes such as, the extreme poverty in Afica and the violence of the hunt with lions ripping apart a zebra, but that's all part of life. I highly recommend this video for it's quality of work and the personal insights of the photographers. The resulting pictures throughout are breathtaking and unique. I like the way they seperated the various subject matter by each photographers' specialty. Well worth the money!!

Great Teaching Tool

I teach high school photography and show this DVD every year. The students love it. The idea of photojournalism comes alive with this video. It inspires them and opens up great discussion about photography as a career. I highly recommend it!

Needs Updating

Well as a semi-pro photographer of 14 years experience I was dying to see this DVD. What can I say, I did enjoy it, a lot! However I will be quick to point out that National Geographic really need to update this with a digital version, ie, not video tape footage transferred to DVD, but re-shoot a new DVD in digital. The footage seems to show a lot of old equipment in use, I would love to see a version for todays market place and NG lover.
The 'Geo' always puts out top quality work, and I would love to one day work for them or at least be a contributing photographer, but at the end of the day, if you love the magazine, and you love photography, your gonna love this.

Great DVD and a must for any collection! ****

PS: Only gave it 4* due to the video quality!

Many photographer's dream is to work for National Geographic. Well this tells the truth we do not see and all that glitters is not gold. Very nice and interesting
