I have some intel to make it happen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In December 2024, I published my first book, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/the-most-picturesque-night-adventures\/\"><em>100 Nights of a Lifetime: The World\u2019s Ultimate Adventures After Dark<\/em><\/a>, with National Geographic.

Let\u2019s dive in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Uliana-Bazar-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-109547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Uliana-Bazar-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Uliana-Bazar-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Uliana-Bazar.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Portrait of Uliana Bazar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Putting yourself out there pays off<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, Bazar has one of the most coveted roles in the photography world: she helps bring National Geographic\u2019s books to life with top-of-the-line imagery. It took a major leap of faith to get here. \u201cI\u2019m originally from Ukraine, and growing up, my dream was to do something for the planet,\u201d she told me. \u201cI was inspired by National Geographic because their motto is to inspire people to care about the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only issue? She lived in small Ukrainian towns with minimal opportunities. \u201cThis was 20 years ago, before social media,\u201d she said. So, she moved halfway around the world by herself. \u201cI had this dream. I knew I was going to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One Washington, D.C., encounter with a man wearing a National Geographic shirt changed her life. \u201cI stopped him and was like, \u2018do you work for National Geographic?\u2019\u201d she said. It turned out to be National Geographic photographer, and now photo editor, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/matthewpropert\/\">Matthew Propert<\/a>. Bazar asked him for photography advice; he offered something better\u2014the chance to join him on a photography assignment in the Florida Everglades. \u201cWe started photographing together and became friends,\u201d she said. \u201cTwo months later, we fell in love.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The duo traveled the world, chasing major photography assignments from the Caribbean to Italy. Bazar bought her first camera, learned to compose images, and soon, had a full portfolio of her own.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAfter the assignments came to an end, I decided I would apply for a program in D.C.,\u201d she said, noting her goal was to become a photojournalist. She nabbed internships with the Pulitzer Center then National Geographic Books, and married Propert along the way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"845\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1_France-Your-Personality-Special-issue-845x1024.jpg\" alt=\"1_France Your Personality Special issue - getting published by Uliana Bazar\n\" class=\"wp-image-109521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1_France-Your-Personality-Special-issue-845x1024.jpg 845w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1_France-Your-Personality-Special-issue-248x300.jpg 248w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1_France-Your-Personality-Special-issue.jpg 990w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">French Edition &#8211;&nbsp;<em>Your Personality<\/em>&nbsp;Special issue that was created with her husband,&nbsp;Matthew Propert for Nat Geo. &#8211; Photos provided by Uliana Bazar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Luck is when preparation meets opportunity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many would consider Bazar lucky to have landed this dream National Geographic role, but I\u2019ve never been a huge fan of the term \u201cluck,\u201d because so much more goes into it\u2014starting with hard work and preparation. Take Bazar\u2019s first big break as an intern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the first week that I was [at National Geographic\u2019s publishing arm], they were working on this really big book; they were super busy and overwhelmed, so they asked me to help,\u201d she said. \u201cInterns don\u2019t usually get to work on these types of projects, but I started helping. I would stay up all night working on that project. I did a good job, and they acknowledged it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She met her deadlines and worked hard, and soon more projects came her way. \u201cThere was this opportunity to prove that I can be responsible and creative and do what needs to be done,\u201d she said. \u201cThat\u2019s how it started.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Photo editing for National Geographic: an inside look<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bazar is still a photographer, but the majority of her imagery centers on personal projects. Professionally, she\u2019s a photo editor for magazines and brands, with the bulk of her work centering on National Geographic\u2019s publishing division. This means she collaborates with photographers, including freelance creatives, regularly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what her role looks like, and how it differs from photography. \u201cAs a photographer, you get the assignment, take photos, then have a beautiful selection of images you send to photo editors,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m a photo editor, so when I receive photographs, it\u2019s my job to look at them and select the ones with the best composition, the best light, and overall the best photos from the shoot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her photo editing for National Geographic spans all sorts of subjects, from <a href=\"https:\/\/stephanievermillionstudio.com\/100-nights-lifetime-book\">nighttime adventures like those in my book<\/a> to wellness, war, and history. \u201cWhen I agree to an assignment, the first thing I do is familiarize myself with the subject matter and concept of the book, and I read the whole text,\u201d she said. \u201cThen I search for photos.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Often, she knows immediately what type of image she wants\u2014it\u2019s a matter of whether or not she can locate it. Other times, she wants to see what\u2019s out there. To find photographers, she starts with agencies. If she can\u2019t find what she\u2019s seeking, she\u2019ll turn to individual photographers, either through Instagram, search engines, or her own professional connections.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the process, she searches for both those epic golden-hour images and more detail-focused, diverse shots for visual interest. \u201cThe challenging part of photo editing is you can\u2019t always use the best image,\u201d she said. If you have a book with, say, a dozen national parks, the obvious photo would be the park at golden hour. \u201cBut for flow, I have to provide diversity, with close-ups and different light.\u201d &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"755\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2_Nat_Geo_Sample_books-grid-1024x755.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-109520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2_Nat_Geo_Sample_books-grid-1024x755.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2_Nat_Geo_Sample_books-grid-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2_Nat_Geo_Sample_books-grid.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photos provided by Uliana Bazar of Nat Geo books that she photo edited.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How can I sell my images to National Geographic?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bazar\u2019s advice on this is simple: be visible and responsive. \u201cThe best thing I can recommend for photographers is to have good contact information on Instagram or on their websites. The hardest part for me is trusting people will get back to me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, put your work out there. \u201cIf you want to be published, make yourself visible,\u201d she said, noting she often looks for photos via Google. \u201cYou have to have some kind of presence, even if it\u2019s a blog or Flickr account.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing a niche can also give you a leg up. \u201cIf somebody is known for a particular type of work, it will always be easier for them to be published,\u201d Bazar said. But it\u2019s not required: \u201cI also use pictures from people with broad portfolios.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And Bazar notes that, when it comes to niche-ing down, it\u2019s important to do so out of authentic passion, not business strategy or the latest trend. \u201cStrategies rarely work long-term because people who genuinely love doing something will always do it better, they\u2019ll always go that extra mile because they love it,\u201d she said. \u201cWhat I\u2019ve learned in my school and in my work is that you have to find one thing you\u2019re passionate about\u2014that thing you will do even if no one pays you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Uliana_Bazar_Salt_Flats_IMG_4741-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-109546\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Uliana_Bazar_Salt_Flats_IMG_4741-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Uliana_Bazar_Salt_Flats_IMG_4741-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Uliana_Bazar_Salt_Flats_IMG_4741.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Portrait of Uliana Bazar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to improve your photography<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, passion alone won\u2019t help you sell photography to National Geographic. You also need to refine and practice your craft\u2014and for that, Bazar suggests learning from the experts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor beginner photographers, it\u2019s important to look at not just anybody, but the masters,\u201d she said. \u201cLearn lighting, composition, aesthetics, and develop an eye. Then, when you master the basics and mechanics, you can experiment and develop your own style.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She says the best travel photos, the ones she seeks out for National Geographic books, share several commonalities. \u201cFor me, it\u2019s composition and beautiful light\u2014this special moment where everything comes together and your eyes travel through the photograph,\u201d she said. In travel books, which National Geographic is known for, she seeks photos that elicit emotion. \u201cWe try to choose beautiful images in the best light, with the best composition, that evoke this feeling of inspiration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To increase your odds of not just one published image, but repeat work, do all you can to make the photo editor\u2019s job easier. \u201cObviously know your worth, but also be easy to work with,\u201d Bazar said. Streamlined communication is especially important because photo editors are often working with over 100 photographers for one book. That means hundreds upon hundreds of back-and-forth emails.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, if National Geographic is your goal publication, make sure to photograph with the brand ethos in mind. \u201cNational Geographic has a quality of timelessness,\u201d Bazar said. \u201cYou look at the images and even the 20-year-old photos just have this quality that transcends time and trends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Learn more about book photography in <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/how-to-get-a-book-deal-as-a-photographer\/\"><em>our interview with author and photographer Christine Chitnis<\/em><\/a><em>, whose latest project, <\/em>Patterns of Portugal,<em> is now a national bestseller!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting a photo published with National Geographic is a dream-come-true for many travel photographers, yet turning this dream into a reality can seem downright impossible.
