National Geographic 125th Anniversary Photography Collection

Nat Geo's Top 10 Photos gives viewers a front-row seat as photographers reveal the hard work, perseverance, and luck involved in capturing that one-in-a-million shot.

With unprecedented access, National Geographic follows the President's photographer inside the Obama White House-aboard Air Force One, backstage at the State of the Union, and into the heart of the West Wing. It's a behind-the-scenes look at the everyday grit of the American presidency and a chance to see what it's like to cover the most powerful man in the world-for history. Narrated by Morgan Freeman.

In celebration of the National Geographic Society's 125th anniversary, this program features original interviews and footage from the field with celebrated photographers Steve McCurry, Steve Winter, Emory Kristof, Jodi Cobb, William Allard, Joel Sartore, Nick Nichols and many more.

The thrill of adventure, it's a mix of adrenaline, danger, excitement, and action.

Learn the stories behind the lens where split-second timing can spell the difference between exhilarating success and devastating failure.
