DVD Reviews of National Geographic's The Photographers
DVD Review: Needs Updating
Summary: 4 Stars
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!
DVD Review: Great Teaching Tool

Description of National Geographic's The Photographers
The Photographers includes a behind-the-scenes look into the lives of National Geographic photographers and how they get the shot presented in a compelling one-hour program; plus the bonus half-hour film on wildlife filmmakers Dereck and Beverly Joubert entitled A Passion for Africa; an assortment of photographs in the Photo Gallery; biographies and photos of the photographers; an interactive trivia quiz; and trailers of other related National Geographic programs.Going behind the camera and on assignment with veteran photographers for National Geographic, this documentary answers the eternal question asked by the magazine's readers: "How in the world did they get that shot?" The photographers recount the grueling preparation that shooting for the magazine entails, from mundane details such as obtaining visas to preparing oneself for dangers such as severe climates, deep-sea dives, raging beasts, and local bandits. And don't forget insects, lots and lots of insects, a point made pellucid as photographers in a fast montage rattle off how many times they've battled malaria. Besides the physical ordeals, there is also discussion of the emotional toll involved in shooting in brutal conditions, such as one photographer's recounting of how distressing it was to continue shooting pictures in the famine zone of the Horn of Africa. Beyond all the hardships, the travel to the world's farthest flung places involves considerable loneliness, but the photographers interviewed speak of having the "best job in the world," and their enthusiasm for the work is abundant. It goes without saying that this video is a visual delight, as many examples of noteworthy National Geographic photographs, and entertaining explanations of how the shot was set up and snapped, appear throughout. --Robert J. McNamara
