The Photo Editor plays a crucial role in shaping powerful and inspiring visual narratives that capture the essence of the natural world, history, science, and exploration. This position requires a deep passion for these subjects, combined with a sharp editorial eye and strong storytelling skills. The Photo Editor researches, curates, commissions, and produces imagery that not only meets high journalistic standards but also engages and moves audiences across print, digital, and social platforms. Collaborating closely with photographers, writers, and editors, the Photo Editor ensures every image contributes meaningfully to the narrative, reflecting National Geographic’s commitment to discovery, exploration and integrity.
This role demands not only technical skill but a deep, almost reverential passion for the world’s wonders: the untamed wilderness, the mysteries of ancient history, the intricate beauty of nature, and the boundless curiosity of science and exploration.

Storytelling Collaboration: Work closely with designers to craft compelling visual narratives, ensuring the most accurate and impactful storytelling. Collaborate with researchers, writers, and copy editors to refine content, maintain factual accuracy, and align visuals with editorial intent.
Photo Production: Collaborate with photographers on portraiture, reportage, conceptual, or still life; work with ideas and photographers in the studio or on location.
Research and pitch visually innovative and original uses of existing images and packages, demonstrating an understanding of the different platforms and audiences.
Digital Production: Design and build stories in CMS with eye to strong visual pacing.
