Joel Sartore
National Geographic Photographer
A life-long Nebraskan, Joel Sartore brings a sense of humor and a
mid-western work ethic to all of his National Geographic Magazine
assignments. Two decades with the National Geographic Society have allowed him to cover everything from the remote Amazon rain forest to beer-drinking, mountain-racing firefighters in the United Kingdom.
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, and a founding member of the International League of Conservation Photographers.
He has written several books including Photographing Your Family,
Face to Face with Grizzlies, and Nebraska: Under a Big Red Sky. His most recent book, Rare: Portraits of America's Endangered Species is available through his website.
Besides the work he has done for National Geographic, Joel has completed assignments for Time, Life, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated and contributed to numerous 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. He is also a regular contributor on the CBS Sunday Morning Show with Charles Osgood.
