Because great images are the only things worth capturing
NATIONAL Geographic’s pioneering use of photography is a vital element in the success of its mission to inspire people to care about the planet. Long recognized as a source of the most iconic and important images ever captured, National Geographic explores and photographs extreme environments and distant cultures. It also keeps a sharp eye trained close to home, documenting the surprising sides of more familiar natural and human landscapes.
Adventure can catch us everywhere! Walking down a busy street or hiking through the wilderness, we can all find ourselves facing an exciting National Geographic moment, and when we do, we want to be able to capture it. National Geographic’s Walkabout photo bag collection is designed for just such moments, merging stylish, everyday personal bags with protective accommodation for photographic gear so that we never need to leave our cameras at home.
Designed to offer a more urban option, the bags are an ideal blend of today’s media carrying requirements and a sophisticated “urban jungle” look and feel. They provide ample room to carry cameras, media gadgets, laptops, accessories and personal belongings.
Capturing the true spirit of National Geographic, these bags combine functionality, en- vironmental awareness, and distinctive style. They are designed as everyday personal bags with specific photographic equipment storage zones to allow for all possibilities.
The innovative Earth Explorer range of photo bags and carrying systems provide ample room for cameras, accessories, and personal belongings. Developed to blend cutting-edge protection with elegant, traditional styling, Earth Explorer reflects National Geographic’s dedication to exploration and its commitment to conservation. The collection uses environmentally friendly components and sustainable materials such as hemp and cotton, and replaces plastic fastenings with brass buckles. The bags are an ideal blend of today’s media carrying requirements and a traditional explorer look and feel.
National Geographic’s new Africa collection of media bags, meanwhile, is designed to suit the urban jungle lifestyle by merging stylish, everyday personal bags with dedicated protective accommodation for media gear so that you never again need to leave anything at home.
The Mediterranean collection is inspired by the sea and travel. The deep blue canvas is parallel to the deep blue color of the Mediterranean Sea. The blue and white stripes further add to the nautical theme. Ochre leather trim adds a touch of freshness and personality, enriching the style of each bag.
Now National Geographic has teamed up with Manfrotto—a leading producer of professional tripods and camera accessories, with decades of experience—to bring you the tools that top explorers, photographers, and reporters trust to help bring home the best images possible.
As a photographer, you know that inspiring images are unrepeatable, split-second combinations of finetuned equipment, fantastic light, fleeting expressions, one-off events, and sudden discoveries. Make sure you’re ready to capture the moment with National Geographic bags.
