When National Geographic calls and asks you to take on a project that involves capturing one of the most photographed places on the planet, how do you come away with something new or unique? Six photographers took on this challenge and shared their stories and images in this short video.

I found it interesting that some of the images revealed an almost behind-the-scenes look at what the actual experience is like for the average tourist, which if you've never been to Yellowstone, you might find rather revealing. Hordes of people taking cell phone pictures, families scurrying about, and as seen in one of the images from the video above, a Sports Illustrated photoshoot taking place. Popular destinations like these are being photographed more than ever, and professionals have to work hard to stand out.

As the crowds continue to grow at Yellowstone, great care needs to be taken to protect our wild lands so that every generation may continue to enjoy them. If you ever go, please educate yourself on the park's rules for safety of yourself and the wildlife. Don't be like these filmmaking idiots who recently trampled across the grand prismatic spring, or this tool who crashed his drone into the spring.
