James Nachtwey

3 May


James Nachtwey is an extremely inspiring photographer.  He has been all over the world documenting the real life situations that he has seen.  His photos are very dramatic and real.  He started out photographing in America and taking photos of the war.  He also has taken photos of the people in India, Rwanda, Bosnia, South Africa, Kosovo, Israel, Indonesia and more.  He even was there in New York city on 9-11-01 and had taken very vivid photos of the twin towers not knowing what exactly had happened when he first saw the sky filled with debris, dust, and smoke.  All of his photos make an impact because they all show drastic times that our world has experienced. On his website I like the quote that he said below.

I have been a witness, and these pictures are

my testimony. The events I have recorded should

not be forgotten and must not be repeated.” James Nachtwey
