"My name is Anthony Maddaloni and we're going to talk about how to become a National Geographic photographer. Obviously, you're going to want to become familiar with the National Geographic magazine. It's got a very certain style to it and a certain look, where it's just, it's straight photography. I like to consider it almost as bread and butter photography of what the subject matter is. And once you see that, there's something about National Geographic photography, or photographs that set themselves apart. One interesting thing, interesting note, about National Geographic is that, as far as I know, and I'm pretty sure about this, National Geographic only used slide film for their reproductions in their magazines, which was something, kind of interesting. While I really do love digital photography, slide film, or chrome film, really is very saturated. It has a certain color look to it that even now, digital still can't quite match. So I know that National Geographic was only taking submissions on slide film. So that's one thing you might want to keep in mind, is that: Are my images vibrant enough? Do they have enough color saturation? And then you're going to want to make a submission to them; you're going to want to think of a story. You might have to give yourself your own assignment in the vein of a National Geographic assignment. And when an editor sees that, they're going to be impressed, like this photographer knows what our magazine is about. And it doesn't just have to be about National Geographic, it could be any kind of publication, but National Geographic is what you're going for here, and then you're going to submit and cross your fingers and hope for the best that you can become a National Geographic photographer."
