The Blue Zones

In search of the world’s oldest healthiest people.

One of the best-selling National Geographic Magazines of all time was the cover story I shot on The Secrets of Longevity written by Dan Buettner. Our mission for this story was simple: we wanted to understand how the world’s oldest healthiest people got that way. Then, share the wisdom and science behind these cultures of longevity so that we may all live longer, healthier, happier lives. Visually, my goal was crystal clear: to make old people look heroic and aspirational.
