喬尔·萨尔托雷是一位作家、教师和摄影师,本文为对他的一篇访谈文章。
Joel Sartore is a writer, teacher and photographer. In 2015, his photos were projected onto the Empire State Building in New York. Some of his words and his beautiful images show his love of photography and of the natural world. He was National Geographics 2018 Explorer of the Year.
Question 1:
My first job was for a newspaper. After a few years there, I met a National Geographic photographer. He liked my photos and said I should send some to the magazine. So I did. That led to a one?day job, a nine?day job, and so on.
Question 2:
To get into National Geographic, you have to give them something they dont have. Its not enough just to be a great photographer. You also have to be a scientist, for example, or be able to dive under sea ice, or spend maybe several days in a tree.
Question 3:
Its now more difficult to work for magazines. Technology makes it easy to take good pictures, which means there are more photos and photographers. Also, the Web is full of photos from all around the world that are free, or cost very little. These photos are often good enough to be put in books and magazines that once paid for photographers and their photos.
Question 4:
Advice? Well, work hard. Be passionate about every project you work on. Take lots of pictures in different situations. Look at others photos thoughtfully and learn from them. And be curious about life. Theres something to photograph everywhere.
But be a photographer for the right reasons. If you do it for the money, you probably wont really be happy. Do you want to make the world a better place, or make people see things in a different way? If so, youll enjoy the work much more.
