The National Geographic Image Collection includes both iconic and never-before-seen images from around the world. In this special event marking the release of a new National Geographic book celebrating the collection, brought to you courtesy of Kodak, the book’s editor Leah Bendavid-Val and Image Collection director Maura Mulvihill will be joined by photographers David Doubilet, Maria Stenzel, Chris Johns, William Albert Allard, and Steve Sasson, the Kodak technologist who invented the digital camera, for an inside look at one of the world’s greatest treasure troves of photography.
For more than a century, Kodak has been the momentum behind the evolution of photography. From film to digital, the company remains the world’s foremost contributor of the science behind the art, connecting the world through the universal language of pictures. Please join Kodak and National Geographic as they celebrate photography through the lens of the artist and the technologist.
A companion exhibit in the National Geographic Museum opens October 1.
