Joel Sartore is a modern-day Noah, building a portfolio instead of an ark. The National Geographic photographer has taken more than 1,800 stunning studio portraits of endangered animals, many of which cannot be found in the wild anymore. By choosing a portrait style, Sartore says all of the creatures are showcased equally, putting them on the same footing.
