Natural history photographers working with National Geographic have often emerged from scientific backgrounds, enabling them to reveal wildlife and our natural world in surprising ways. Molecular biologist-turned-photographer Prasenjeet Yadav combines his experience in research with his photography skills, and Anand Varma has developed innovative techniques to create stunning images of creatures whose details are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. Join them for stories and conversation on the intriguing intersection of science and photography.

The series continues at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 16, with “Feats of Filmmaking.”

Keith Ladzinski, who filmed this rock climber high above the valley floor in France’s Verdon Gorge, will discuss “Feats of Filmmaking” with Bryan Smith at 7 p.m. March 16 in a NatGeo Live! online event. Both filmmakers are renowned for capturing extreme feats of adventure in some of the world’s most remote and inhospitable environments. (CREDIT: KEITH LADZINSKI).

Meet two filmmakers renowned for capturing extreme feats of adventure in some of the world’s most remote and inhospitable environments. Bryan Smith brings stories of adventure to the screen from the South Pacific’s deepest canyons to the frozen waters of Niagara Falls. And Keith Ladzinski takes on the seemingly impossible — including chasing tornadoes, or hanging from massive natural arches — to document the endeavors of the world’s most elite adventurers.
