Four Months in a Tree for One Photograph - Matthias Klum

What does it take to be a National Geographic photographer? Boyd speaks with Mattias Klum about some of his wildest moments out in the field. Klum talks about his trips to Vietnam, where he came face-to-face with some of the world’s most dangerous snakes, and to Indonesia, where he waited in a tree for four months to take a picture of an orangutan. With courage and patience, he puts himself into precarious situations for the sake of capturing the beauty of our planet and bringing attention to the importance of protecting it. Klum’s most recent work can be found in the February issue of National Geographic Magazine.
