What underpins my photographs for National Geographic? Pencil-blunting research long before a shoot. On-the-fly camera settings and in-the-field improvisations. And sometimes I just get lucky. Mostly, I never take myself too seriously and I always figure there must be a better way—if I can just figure it out. Learn with me as I keep growing.


Article includes links to numerous links to insights from Jim Richardson, National Geographic Photographer, as well as examples of some of his most famous work.
