Joel Sartore

Joel is committed to conservation, especially in the Great Plains where he has lived his whole life. In his time with National Geographic, he has focused on endangered species and land use issues. He is co-founder of the Grassland Foundation, is on the national board of Defenders of Wildlife, and is a founding member of the International League of Conservation Photographers.

He has written several books including, Rare: Portraits of America’s Endangered Species, Photographing Your Family, Face to Face with Grizzlies, and Nebraska: Under a Big Red Sky. His most recent book, Let’s Be Reasonable, is now available through www.joelsartore.com.

Besides the work he has done for National Geographic, Joel has completed assignments for Time, Life, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, The New York Times, and contributed to hundreds of book projects. Joel and his work have been the subject of several national broadcasts including National Geographic’s Explorer, the NBC Nightly News, NPR’s Weekend Edition, CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 and an hour-long PBS documentary, At Close Range. He is also a regular contributor on the CBS Sunday Morning Show with Charles Osgood.

“Joel is the Geographic photographer I most admire. His work is diverse–from humanistic essays to wildlife, landscape and even studio. He is a master of photographic technique, including lighting and long lenses. In addition he runs an admirably successful free lance photographic business. In short, he has a lot to say and to show, all of it worthy.” – Sam Abell, National Geographic photographer
