"One of the five most influential photographers of the past 25 years," said American Photo Magazine in 2015. They also said she has changed the way we see the world's conflicts. This is indeed true and is prominent across all her photojournalism works. One of her biggest works ever published is her book, Of Love & War. It features over 200 of her photographs, focusing on women in conflict zones from her coverage of wars and humanitarian crises over the past two decades.
In 2011, she traveled to various countries and war zones while pregnant because she did not want to discontinue her mission to show the world the truth of war. She was highly criticized for this decision but she insisted that had one goal: to help the victims of war by giving them a platform and informing the world of the harsh realities, so that more people could come to their aid. She said to the critics, “get up and do something with your life,” and urged them to do something that actually helps the people.
She has received a number of honors, including two Pulitzer Prizes for International Reporting while working for The New York Times, first from Afghanistan and Pakistan (2009) and most recently from Ukraine (2023); the George Polk Award for Photojournalism (2022); the International Women's Media Foundation's Courage in Journalism Award (2022); the Overseas Press Club's Olivier Rebbot Award for a National Geographic story titled "Veiled Rebellion: Afghan Women" (2010); a MacArthur "Genius" Fellowship, and two Emmy nominations.
This is your chance to witness her in person as she speaks about the depths of humanity at the Arizona Speaker Series.
