The Greats: James Nachtwey (Photojournalist)


This week on "The Greats" I tell you the story of legendary photojournalist James Nachtwey.
James was one of the many photographers who photographed the September 11 tragedy, with James you truly see the story through his lens.
He studied art history and political science at Dartmouth College in Massachusetts.
Images from the Vietnam War had a strong impact on him which is the reason he started in photography.

In 1976 he started working as a newspaper photographer in New Mexico and in 1980 he moved to New York where he began a career as a freelance magazine photographer.

He has now worked with Time Magazine since 1984, and has travelled to many countries covering war and political stories.

James Nachtwey a truly moving Photographer!
