Masters of Photography Partwork & Collector’s Edition Opportunity For the first time ever, National Geographic has produced a multi-volume, collectible series of books that highlights our outstanding photographers in an affordable, convenient, collectible format. The Masters of Photography series consists of multiple volumes, each with a focus on one particular National Geographic photographer and their best and most renowned photographs. Each volume begins with a forward from the NGM Director of Photography, David Griffin, and moves on to a personal essay written by the photographer, which tells about their life, their work in the field, and how they captured the images contained within the book. The majority of each volume, however, will be dedicated to the stunning, celebrated work of the photographer. Designed specifically with a global audience in mind, these titles will resonate with both photography enthusiasts and NGM readers worldwide. Specs: 20 x 26.51 cm

Places From the railways of Asia to the forests of North America, National Geographic Magazine partners are fascinated with both well-traveled and newly discovered places. Special issues can focus on one country or a single geographic region, like our Italian special issue on Tibet, or our German special issue on the New England region of the United States. Places can also embody a theme such as forests, islands, rivers, or deserts. For example, our Thai partners chose to focus on the theme of “man-made places� in their 2008 special on Cities.
