THE SPCSHP //

If everyone in the world had the same attitude that they will never be a good enough photographer to shoot for National Geographic, the magazine would simply have no pictures. It would be text only. 

That’s true. 

So this is also true:

The only pictures you will ever see in National Geographic were taken by photographers whose confidence and skill level meet at the place where the photo editors will be sufficiently impressed with the quality of the images (enough to publish them) and the photographer will feel confident enough to take on an assignment for National Geographic, knowing he/she can get the shot they are looking for.

The good thing about all of this is that National Geographic is going to publish pictures, regardless of who takes them. There are probably a lot of photographers that could turn out fantastic pictures of any assignment, but aren’t necessarily interested in tromping through the Amazon jungle in the summertime to get them. See how the field is narrowing? 

It’s actually way more attainable that you might think.
