Greatest Photographs of National Geographic, a comprehensive exploration of
National Geographic’s most iconic photos in Imagine Exhibitions Gallery at The Venetian.
Guests will be immersed in
the captivating world of National Geographic and its 125-year-old history. Just
as compelling as the photographs adorning the walls were the stories
accompanying them, evoking inspiration, heartbreak, awe and self-awareness from
guests. Attendees learned the intriguing stories behind famous pictures such as
Steve McCurry’s mysterious Afghan Girl, a lion braving a Kalahari Desert dust
storm by Chris Johns, and William Albert Allard’s tear-jerking image of a
Peruvian boy mourning his sheep carelessly wounded by a hit-and-run taxi
driver.
Also
on display are some of the photos “near frames:” the sequence of images made in
the field before and after the perfect shot. Additionally, documentary videos
throughout the exhibition tell the stories behind these renowned photographs
and the photographers who shot them.
