"The Photographers" National Geographic Movie

I watched The Photographers in photography class. This documentary explores the people and stories behind the photographs that have made National Geographic the standard for photography. Throughout the movie, because of their location, some of the photographers suffered from bites, and harsh weather. I think if you are able to go through with all of those conditions upon you, and still come out with great pictures you are truly a photographer.
