National Geographic: The Photographs 美国国家地理杂志摄影集 txt umd azw3 下载 fb2 pdf 在线 免费

This stunning volume was the gift book of the year when it first

published, and the images that grace its pages remain iconic. From

the famous Afghan girl whose haunting green eyes stare out from the

book’s cover, and her poignant story that captured the world’s

interest, to award-winning photography culled from the Society’s

vast archives, The Photographs offers readers an inside look at

National Geographic and a sharp-eyed view of the world. The book

showcases the skill and imagination of such notable Geographic

photographers as David Doubilet, William Albert Allard, Sam Abell,

Jim Stanfield, Jodi Cobb, Jim Brandenburg, David Alan Harvey, and

many more. They share their techniques, as well as personal and

colorful anecdotes about individual images and their adventures in

the field—sometimes humorous, sometimes terrifying, always vividly

compelling. Author Leah Bendavid-Val writes about the

photographers’ achievements from technical, journalistic, and

artistic perspectives.

Five chapters cover core National Geographic themes—wildlife on

land and water; cultures in the United States and around the world;

and science, from astronomy to archaeology to the human senses. The

photographs in each chapter capture rare moments in nature and the

lives of animals, along with defining events in the lives of people

everywhere. This exquisite collection is as elegant as it is

timeless.

书籍介绍

"National Geographic: The Photographs" presents an amazing collection of award-winning "National Geographic" magazine photographs, the facts behind them, and the inside stories of the men and women who took them. The images capture rare moments in nature and the lives of animals, along with defining events in the lives of people everywhere. Many earlier pictures place the new ones in perspective, illustrating how the "Geographic" has created a unique photographic approach and maintained its tradition over decades, while evolving in response the changing realities that the photography documents. Five chapters cover the Society's major themes: wildlife on land and underwater, cultures in the United States and around the world, and science - from astronomy to archaeology to the human senses. On page after page, stunning images reveal the skill and imagination of Geographic's photographers. Accompanying the images are the photographer's accounts of adventures in the field - sometimes humorous, sometimes terrifying, always vividly compelling. Author Leah Bendavid-Val writes about the photographers' achievements from technical, journalistic, and artistic points of view. An introductory chapter chronicles the evolution of photographic principles at the "Geographic" and the visionaries who believed in the revolutionary idea that photography had the power to tell important truths about the world.
