Becky Hale is a Staff Photographer with National Geographic in Washington, D.C.
With over 20 years of experience in the studio and the field, her subjects are wide-ranging and rely on a multitude of skills. She shoots everything from portraiture, to conceptual images illustrating complex scientific and cultural stories. She is one of the most published women photographers at National Geographic and her work has been featured on multiple covers.
While based out of the National Geographic studio in DC, fieldwork has taken her on assignment around the world and she’s had to recreate her studio in the middle of cornfields and anatomy labs. She’s shot aerials of the whooping crane migration from an ultralight, driven thru Idaho documenting the stakeholders affected by the reintroduction of wolves, and shot portraits inside a cold storage locker at a morgue.
She has taught photography workshops on numerous National Geographic Expeditions and gives talks and lectures to student groups. She lives in Washington DC with her family.
She is proficient in Profoto, Canon, CaptureOne, Lightroom and a multitude of Adobe imaging systems.
