 Peter Essick has been a freelance photojournalist for 23 years now, who has had the opportunity to travel to every continent in a search for compelling stories (that just so happen to have some compelling scenery). 
His main client National Geographic has rated him one of their top 100 photographers issuing him in over 30 different stories. 

Because Peter gets to go to so many unique places and cover such interesting and pressing stories all his photos have a particular draw that makes you take a minute to think about the photo (once your done ogling at how magical it looks). 

Pete likes to take a plethora of different kinds of photos ranging from; environmental hazards, nature, landscapes,black and white & culture. 

He has to be one of my favorite photographers ever because he tries to make you think about all the ugly things happening in the world, but also managing not to offend our eyeballs in the process witch to me makes every picture magic.
