Four Photographers Named as National Geographic Explorers

The National Geographic Society has their first set of visual storytellers to be added to their Explorers program. Previous Explorers have come primarily from areas of science, research and innovation.

David Guttendelder, Lyn Johnson, Cory Richards and Brian Skerry will spend two years, “sharing their visual expertise with diverse areas of the National Geographic Society and with the public, producing stories, sharing their storytelling knowledge with other explorers, and bringing the Society’s mission to illuminate, teach, and inspire the world at large” according to a story on the National Press Photographers Association’s site.
