GETTING THE SHOP An interview with Joel Sartore Joe Sartore is a writer, teacher, and photographer. His words—and beautiful images—show his love of photography and of the natural world. He was National Geographic's 2018 Explorer of the Year. My first job was for a newspaper. After a few years there, I met a National Geographic photographer. He liked my photos and said I should send some to the magazine. So I did. That led to a one-day job. And that led to a nine-day job, and so on. To get into National Geographic, you have to give them something they don't have. It's not enough just to be a great photographer. You also have to be a scientist, for example, or be able to dive under sea ice, or spend maybe several days in a tree. It's now more difficult to work for magazines. Technology makes it easy to take good pictures, which means there are more photos and photographers. Also, the Web is full of photos from all around the world that are free, or cost very little. These photos are often good enough to be put in books and magazines that once paid for photographers and their photos. Advice? Well, work hard. Be passionate about every project you work on. Take lots of pictures in different situations. Look at others' photos thoughtfully and learn from them. And be curious about life. There's something to photograph everywhere. But be a photographer for the right reasons. If you do it for the money, you probably won't really be happy. Do you want to make the world a better place, or make people see things in a different way? If so, you'll enjoy the work much more.

买东西——乔尔·萨托雷访谈录 乔·萨托雷是一位作家、教师和摄影师。 他的文字和美丽的图像表明了他对摄影和自然世界的热爱。 他是《国家地理》杂志2018年度最佳探险家。 我的第一份工作是在一家报社。 在那里呆了几年后，我遇到了一位《国家地理》摄影师。 他喜欢我的照片，说我应该给杂志寄一些。 所以我做了。 这导致了一天的工作。 这导致了一份为期九天的工作，以此类推。 要进入《国家地理》，你必须给他们一些他们没有的东西。 仅仅成为一名优秀的摄影师是不够的。 例如，你还必须是一名科学家， 或者能够在海冰下潜水，或者在树上呆上几天。 现在为杂志工作更难了。 技术使拍摄好照片变得容易，这意味着有更多的照片和摄影师。 此外，网络上充斥着来自世界各地的免费或低价照片。 这些照片通常足够好，可以放在书和杂志上 这曾经为摄影师和他们的照片买单。 建议？好吧，努力工作。 对你所从事的每一个项目都充满热情。 在不同的情况下拍很多照片。 仔细看看别人的照片，并从中学习。 对生活保持好奇心。 到处都有可以拍照的东西。 但出于正确的原因成为一名摄影师。 如果你这样做是为了钱，你可能不会真正快乐。 你是想让世界变得更美好，还是想让人们以不同的方式看待事物？ 如果是这样，你会更喜欢这份工作。
