One thing that suprised me was the fact that most of these photographers are put in very dangerous situations just to get a few photos. And the fact that most of the journey is just getting there then the short time getting the photo.
Its also crazy that they go on these big trips, and it takes so much time just to get some photographs. The job isnt just going around the world taking pictures theres a lot of planning and risk involved in the job.
I also think its fascinating that there is so much variety in their photos. And the photographers travel the world and get all these different photos, and it just gives you an idea on how other parts of the world are.
