James Nachtwey is an American photojournalist and war photographer. Nachwey grew up in Massachusetts, he studied History and Political Science.He has devoted himself to documenting wars, conflicts, and critical social issues. Nachtwey worked on extensive photographic essays in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Lebanon, the West Bank and Gaza, Israel, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, the Philippines, South Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Rwanda, South Africa, Russia, Bosnia, Chechnya, Kosovo, Romania, Brazil, and the United States. I love these photos because they each tell a story of emotion.
This was photographed in Bosnia, 1993 - A family mourning a soldier killed in the civil war.
This was photographed in Bosnia, 1993 - Mourning a soldier killed by Serbs and buried in what was once a football field.
Out of the four images, this one is my favourite. It is a shocking image, nobody wishes to see a dead body let along a body with the ribs showing through. This was taken in Somalia, 1992 - Famine victim sewn into burial shroud.
This was photographed in Bosnia, 1993 - Wounded soldier.
