Showcasing the evolution of wildlife photography
The Greatest Wildlife Photographs presents the finest wildlife pictures from the pages of National Geographic magazine, curated by Kathy Moran, acclaimed nature picture editor.
These images were captured by National Geographic’s most renowned photographers, including Michael “Nick” Nichols, Steve Winter, Paul Nicklen, Beverly Joubert, David Doubilet, and more.
Exploring the development of wildlife photography, the images show how advances such as camera traps, remote imaging, and underwater technology have offered photographers access to wildlife in its natural environment.

National Geographic has pioneered and celebrated the art of wildlife photography for more than 115 years, engaging generations of readers with a continuous stream of extraordinary images.
Since publishing its first arresting image of an animal in nature in 1906, a photograph of a white-tailed deer, the National Geographic Society’s publications have pushed the boundaries and set new precedents, establishing an unparalleled legacy of artistic, scientific, and technical achievement.
These are the Greatest Wildlife Photographs.
