"We have used Joel for many different events and each time he never fails to dazzle our clients with his presentations. His sense of humor along with his knowledge combine to give attendees an unforgetable experience."

     - National Geographic Society

If you're looking for a fresh, exciting speaker for your next event, consider Joel Sartore. He's been speaking to a wide variety of audiences for over a dozen years, and can custom-tailor a presentation specially to fit your group. Whether it's motivating employees at a business seminar, doing a photo workshop, or providing some laughter at a banquet, Joel will bring something new to the table.

Joel has been a contributing photographer for National Geographic Magazine for nearly two decades. Roaming from the Arctic to the Amazon, he’s been charged by grizzly bears, battled flesh-eating parasites, and had plenty of close calls. Now he brings your organization a first-hand, riveting account of life on assignment for the world’s greatest magazine.

Delivered with humor, Sartore shares his experiences in a warm, candid manner, captivating audience attention and leaving a lasting impression. His award-winning photographs serve as a testament to all that he’s seen.

Besides his work in the Geographic, Sartore’s photographs have appeared in hundreds of books and magazines including Time, Life, Newsweek, Audubon, and Sports Illustrated. He has been featured on The National Geographic Channel, National Public Radio, and been the subject of At Close Range, an hour-long documentary on PBS. He is also a regular contributor to the CBS Sunday Morning Show with Charles Osgood.

Joel’s most recent (and most popular) presentation is Grounded: A Reflection on the Use of Life and Land. In it he recounts not only the years spent shooting for NG, but how his wife’s recent battle with breast cancer refocused and reconnected him to his family and with the reason he takes pictures in the first place; to show people the natural world, get them to care, and save the Earth.

A video of Joel presenting Grounded is available here.
