In this rare and reflective video, National Geographic photographer Sam Abell shares his philosophy of shooting — rooted in patience, restraint, and reverence for simplicity. Eschewing flash and favouring natural light, Abell’s approach is deeply connected to the emotional and architectural qualities of space.

Few photographers have shaped the 20th century’s visual language like Richard Avedon — and no documentary captures his complexity better than Darkness and Light. Originally aired as part of PBS’s American Masters series, this 90-minute film goes far beyond glossy magazine spreads and commercial fame.

This landmark National Geographic documentary pulls back the curtain on the men and women behind some of the most recognisable images in the world. Rather than focus on a single figure, The Photographers introduces us to the diverse voices, visions, and challenges faced by a generation of National Geographic shooters working on assignment in the late 20th century.

Hosted by Anthony Armstrong-Jones (Lord Snowdon), Snowdon on Camera is a thoughtful, witty, and at times wry commentary on the medium through history, technology, and culture.
