National Geographic UK - July 2019

(Michael S) #1

What is the best way to challenge the


creativity of some of the world’s most


talented photographers - while at the same


time pushing a new smartphone to the


limits of its design specs?


The answer is to give three of these


individuals a OnePlus 7 Pro and unleash


them in numerous locales across the United


States so they can immortalize the theme –


Inspired by Nature.


Their brief was simple: to capture as much


of the rugged natural beauty of a rich and


unimaginably diverse continent – and how


people interact with it - as they could in


seven days.


With their creativity and imaginations


unleashed they journeyed forth to tell


the stories of their chosen regions.


Their treks ranged from cloud and


snow-capped mountains, to meadows

deserts, to warm tropical waters.


And so they fanned out from coast to coast:


the iconic American west for Australian


Krystle Wright, the wonders of California


for Andy Bardon and the Sunshine State for


Florida native Carlton Ward Jr.


All of the photographers succeeded in


capturing the distilled essence of America’s


geographical diversity and the delicate balance


between the natural and human environment.


Look out for the stunning 40-page


magazine available with the July edition


of National Geographic magazine.
