John Nachtwey has dedicated the last 30
years of his life to photojournalism, capturing powerful images that have moved
the world. After graduating from Dartmouth College, Nachtwey began his
photojournalism career as a photographer for New Mexico’s Albuquerque Journal
in 1976. During his time at the Journal, he covered local news and issues that
the surrounding communities were dealing with. In 1980, Nachtwey decided to
move to New York to pursue a job as a freelance magazine photographer. As
National Geographic Society states in the article,
“His first foreign assignment was to cover civil strife in Northern Ireland in
1981 during the IRA hunger strike.” After this assignment, he signed a contract
with TIME magazine in 1984, in which he covered a variety of social issues and
war. John Nachtwey is still under contract with TIME magazine and during his
years with it, as National Geographic Society explains in the article, he “has
devoted himself to documenting wars, conflicts, and critical social issues. He
has worked on extensive photographic essays in El Salvador, Nicaragua,
Guatemala, Lebanon, the West Bank and Gaza, Israel, Indonesia, Thailand, India,
Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, etc.” In 1994, he traveled to South Africa where he
documented the first non-racial elections. With over 30 years of
photojournalistic work under his belt, Nachtwey, in 2001, became one of the
founding members of VII, which is a photo agency that primarily focuses on the
world issues and how different cultures live.
John Nachtwey became interested in
photojournalism, mainly war photography, when he first viewed images of the
Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War. He was against the Vietnam War,
believing that violence was not the best way to solve the problem. As James
Nachtwey says in his speech, “I
was a student in the '60s, a time of social upheaval and questioning, and
on a personal level, an awakening sense of idealism. The war in Vietnam
was raging; the Civil Rights Movement was under way; and pictures had
a powerful influence on me.” He believed that pictures could tell a story
of truth, which could help change history for the better. Nachtwey’s main
motivation as a photojournalist has always been to bring a sense of awareness
about social issues and war conflict to the general public. As Nachtwey
explains in the article, “I’m
only one among many journalists who’ve committed themselves to covering
conflicts and revealing social injustices, that have been hidden or ignored,
but that are crying out to be corrected.” Nachtwey wants to give a voice to
those individuals who have none. He
believed that people need to know the truth, and maybe that truth would spark a
change. As Nachtwey once said, “There
is a job to be done…to record the truth. I want to wake people up!”
Since 1976, James Nachtwey
has devoted the last 30 years of his life to capturing images of social issues
and war conflict. Nachtwey entered the photojournalism scene right at the end
of the Golden Age of Photojournalism. He experienced a lot throughout his
lifetime of work, and has seen an age of paper photojournalism change to
digital. During the 1980’s, as Bran Jones explains in the article, there was “a
shift in the world of photojournalism in the 1980s as practitioners began to
explore new ways of generating content and present their work to the
public…photojournalists began to aspire to explore more personal approaches and
expand the genre by communicating the experience of complex issues and events.”
James Nachtwey documented many conflicts during the 80s, such as the
Palestinian-Israeli conflict beginning in 1981, the civil unrest of the people
in Central America during the Cold War, and the Scorched Earth campaign
rebellion in Latin America. By the 1990s, James Nachtwey was seeing a
transition in photojournalism, where photography was being driven by
technology. As Ross Collins states in the article, “By
the 1990s, photojournalists were already shooting mostly color, and seldom
making actual prints, but using computer technology to scan film directly into
the design. And by the beginning of the new millennium, photojournalists were
no longer using film: digital photography had become universal, both faster and
cheaper in an industry preoccupied with both speed and profit.” James
Nachtwey was able to witness the civil war between Bosnia, Croatia, and Serbia,
after the Soviet Union split. He documented the aftermath of the wars and the
tragedies that people had to suffer. He found himself becoming more than just a
war photographer, for Nachtwey began to focus on social issues as well as those
that involved the environment. During the 90s, people began to become more
concerned about the effects that air pollution had on humans and the
environment. From 1995 through 1996, James Nachtwey explains how, “Going
deeper into the legacy of the Eastern European regimes, I worked for
several months on a story about the effects of industrial pollution, where
there had been no regard for the environment or the health of either
workers or the general population.” He exposed the harmful effects that air
pollution had on workers, making people more aware of the issue. He also began
to focus more on social issues throughout the world, such as the African
countries that suffered from feminine and the disturbing effects it had on the
people living there. James Nachtwey now lives in the age of digital technology,
where he can upload an image straight from his camera, sharing it with millions
of people. Nachtwey actually witnessed the September 11 attacks, where he was
able to capture some of the first images of the aftermath of the attack. Throughout
the last few years, Nachtwey had been documenting and bringing awareness to, as
he says, “suffering
in the Islamic world from political oppression, civil war, foreign invasion,
poverty, and feminine. With new technology and the ability to upload images
to the internet at record speeds, Nachtwey says, that he is going to
“come up with innovative and exciting ways to use news photography in the
digital era.”
When
first starting out, James Nachtwey used the Canon EOS- 1N AF SLR 35 mm Camera. The
35mm Single Lens Reflex camera, as author Rene Smith explains, “use[s] a mirror and prism
system to allow photographers to accurately see the image that will be
captured. This system uses one optical light path whereas previous cameras had
two, one through the lens to the film and the other to the viewfinder.” This camera gave
photographers the chance to see images at eye level directly through the lens
and also allowed them to change the lenses. Photographers were able to capture
images as they truly were. The 35mm SLR camera, which contains a 35 millimeter
film, was made to be lightweight and easy to use. In 2000, Canon released their
newest version of the Canon SLR 35 mm Camera, which was known as the Canon
EOS-1V SLR Camera. As Philip Greenspun states in the the article, “the EOS-1V is the
top-of-the-line film body in the Canon EOS system… it combines an intelligent
45-point autofocus system with a 10 frames-per-second exposure rate.” Since
James Nachtwey was considered a war photographer, he had to be able to take
pictures of the action without being close enough to get hurt. In order to get
up close pictures, Nachtwey used a variety of different lenses, such as the Canon
EF 17-35mm Lens and the Canon EF 28mm F/1.8 Wide Angle Lens to capture the perfect
shots. The Canon EF 17-35mm Lens, as Ken Rockwell states, “any color
fringes are corrected in-camera. This gives better image quality today than we
ever could get with this lens when it was new.” Now that technology has
changed and the main focus is on digital cameras, James Nachtwey uses the Canon
EOS-1Ds Mark II, which as Phi Askey states, “the camera maintains
an impressive four frames per second shooting rate and a buffer large enough
for 32 JPEG or 11 RAW images.” With the creation of the Digital Single Lens
Reflex camera, film is no longer needed and photojournalists do not have to worry about replacing film
in their cameras. The digital single lens reflex camera contains a large imaging sensor,
which means the photojournalist can get better quality pictures to share with
the world. All of James Nachtwey’s cameras were compact and
lightweight, meaning that he was able to take photos of people or events
instantly, without having to luge around heavy equipment. With the invention of these
new hassle free cameras, it allowed for him to
travel to different places and capture images of war conflict and social
problems that were happening in the world.
As a photojournalist who focuses mainly on social issues and war conflicts, James Nachtwey must see a lot of tragedy and suffering in his work. John Nachtwey’s ethics towards his subjects and work itself were impeccable. He respected the subjects that he shot and as he said, “I attempt to become as totally responsible to the subject as I possibly can. The act of being an outsider aiming a camera can be a violation of humanity. The only way I can justify my role is to have respect for the other person’s predicament. The extend to which I do that is the extent to which I become accepted by the other, and to that extent I can accept myself.” However, most of the images that James Nachtwey covered involved social issues where people in poverty were suffering. For example, Nachtwey visited a small town in Romania, where as James Nachtwey explains in his speech, “Children who couldn't be supported by their families were raised in government orphanages. Children with birth defects were labeled incurables, and confined for life to inhuman conditions.” Although he did not physically help these children, he saw the images he took to be a way to show the world the cruelty that these children have faced. As James Gilbert explains in the article, Nachtwey “acknowledges that recording grief, injury, death, and distress is potentially a form of exploitation, but he makes it clear that the alternative - allowing man-made misery to remain invisible beyond the reach of those whose consciences should be shocked by it - is worse.” He believed that by sharing these images with the world, it would show people the need for change and spark an outrage that would benefit the treatment of the orphans and their living conditions.
James
Nachtwey seemed to favor those subjects who were poverty stricken and those who
did not have a voice in their own society. As he says in one of his speeches, “I
want to record history through the destiny of individuals who often belong to
the least wealthy classes. I do not want to show war in general, nor history
with a capital H, but rather the tragedy of a single man, of a family…I want to
give a voice to those who otherwise would not have a voice.” He showed sympathy towards
individuals who were suffering and documented their lives to show just how much
our world needs to change. Nachtwey believed that everyone’s story mattered and
as he explained in an interview with TIME, “Each
of us is a single mind, a single sensibility – one pair of eyes and one pair of
ears – one heart – moving through the real world in real time, to tell the
stories of what happens to people, one-by-one, at the sharp end of history.”
Since he captures images of social issues and war conflict, most of his photos show
the darker side and aftermath of what is happening in the world. His photos are
meant to get people talking and allow them to see what is really happening in
the world. He uncovers the truth, and tends to show the ugly side of an issue. He
showed people the effects that the 1993 Sudan famine had on the individuals who
lived there. The images showed adults and children, who looked like skeletons,
crawling on their hands and knees because they were too hungry to stand.
Nachtwey believed that people were not going to change until they saw the
problem with their own eyes. As Nachtwey states in a speech, “If
there is something occurring that is so bad that it could be considered a crime
against humanity, it has to be transmitted with anguish, with pain, and create
an impact in people – upset them, shake them up, wake them out of their
everyday routine.”
This image, which was taken in Afghanistan in 1996, shows a
woman mourning her brother who was killed by a Taliban rocket. James Nachtwey
shot this image in black and white, which gives the image a darker, depressing
tone. If this image was not in black and white, I think that the color would
take away from the subject. The black and white color makes sure that there are
no distractions, allowing the viewer to simply focus on the grieving woman,
giving it a more serious look which is appropriate, given the situation. The
background of this image compliments the subject because the background is
simple and allows the audience to focus on the subject. The headstones in the
background are a little out of focus, drawing attention to the woman grieving.
The simple headstones also add a more serious and depressing tone to the image.
When looking at this image, the viewer can see that the subject is obviously
grieving the loss of a loved one. Although you can not see her face, her body
expression gives off the appearance of sadness. She is seen as being lower to
the ground, praying, and reaching out towards the headstone, almost as if she
is reaching out to the one she lost.
Although very simple, this image, which
was taken in 1999, shows the imprint of a man who was killed by the Serbs
during a battle. It conveys such a powerful message about the ever lasting and
devastating effects that war has on people. This imprint of the man will be
imprinted in people’s minds, forever showing the gruesome results that war can
have. The quality of light in this image allows the viewer to focus their
attention on the main subject. The main subject has a lot of light shining on
him, making him stand out from the ground in which he is imprinted on. The main
subject is the brightest thing in the image, drawing the attention of the
viewer. The texture of this image seems to be very rough and coarse. The rough
texture helps illuminate the death of the man and the seriousness of the
situation. When looking at this image, the texture shows the hardships of war
and how the ultimate result can have a lasting imprint on society.
This image, which was taken in 1992
in South Africa, shows Xhosa young men engaging in the rite of passage. When
shooting this, Nachtwey used a shallow depth of field, for the main subject is
very close. By using a shallow depth of field, Nachtwey wanted the viewer to
focus on the front part of the picture, which shows the boy sitting on the
rock. Since he used a shallow depth of field, the rest of the image is blurred,
so the viewer immediate shifts their focus to the boy in the front. In this
image, there is an obvious main subject, which is the boy in the front part of
the picture, closer to the viewer. The boy takes up more than half the image
and is positioned almost in the middle. The main focus is on the boy in the
front, for he is the largest object in the picture. When looking at this image,
one can see that the main subject is in focus, while everything in back of him
is more out of focus. By having just the boy in perfect focus, it allows the
viewer to immediately look at him. Everything else is more blurred, and
therefore less attention is spent looking at the background.
This image, which was taken on September
11, 2001 in New York City, shows firefighters searching for survivors after the
9/11 terrorist attack. When looking at this image, I thought that the
firefighters who were searching looked like zombies. The man in the middle is
looking at the camera very creepily, and therefore, it created a feeling of
panic and fear. This image has a dark and almost dead undertone, where zombies,
which are the people, are walking from the rubble. When taking this photo,
James Nachtwey used a fast shutter speed, for it looks as though he has frozen
time. The men, which are in perfect focus, look as though time stood still. The
fast shutter speed makes the image look as though the three men are the only
ones left on Earth. The men look as though they are coming towards the viewer
at a slow pace. In this image, there is a good balance between high contrast
and low contrast, where the background is bright, while the subjects are
darker. The bright background is a nice contrast when looking at the men
because it makes them stand out more. The dark areas and color contrast make
this image look creepy and almost horror like.
By capturing images of social issues, war
conflicts, and human suffering, James Nachtwey has been able to open society’s
eyes to the major issues that have arisen in our world. As James Gilbert states
in the article, “For nearly a decade, James Nachtwey has stalked the
terrifying existence of war and civil strife with his camera. Since 1981, readers of such magazines as Time,
National Geographic, and Live, have been aware of a restless and brilliant
visual presence in their pages.” The
images that he has captured have drawn people’s attention to the many issues
that most people do not think about. As Kurt Sundstrom states in the article, Nachtwey’s
“photographs
have the capacity to change a stubborn mind, open a closed heart and motivate
the indifferent.” His images of Afghanistan before and after September 11, 2001,
showed people, as Kurt Sundstrom explains, “war’s tragic
effects on combatants and civilians alike.” Nachtwey’s photography shows
people that the world is not perfect and there are problems in it that are
being ignored. He was able to bring to light issues such as the feminine in
Sudan, as well as the cruel treatment of Romanian orphans by their own
government. Through his images, he is able to convey tragedy and suffering,
giving a voice to those individuals who are not strong enough or do not have
the opportunity to fight for themselves.
When looking at James Nachtwey’s work, it is
easy to see that we both want to raise awareness and help those individuals who
do not have an opportunity to have a voice of their own. James Nachtwey was
able to affect change when he brought to light the cruel and unfair treatment
of orphans in Romania in 1990. Many
families during this time could not afford to take care of their children, and
therefore put them in orphanages. These orphanages were unsanitary and the
workers treated the children very cruelly, especially those children who were
handicapped. As Kathleen Hunt states in the article, babies were “tethered to the
crib, a common practice with children who were agitated. The children's heads
were shaved for ease of care... the food allowance is the equivalent of 14
cents per day per child.” When James Nachtwey
exposed the unfair treatment of children in the Romanian orphanages, people around
the world showed concern and disgust for the government. As Kathleen Hunt says, “But
people weren't just shocked - they felt the need to do something for these
children, and many ordinary people just put their lives on hold and went to
Romania to do whatever they could - they went and despite the terrible
conditions and the ingrained indifference of the staff, they did things for
these children.” When I graduate, I want to become an Elementary
Education teacher and possibly
work for Teachers Without Borders. I want to work with children who live in
third world countries and help provide them with a good education and the
resources they need to be successful. I hope to bring back the knowledge of how
children in under developed countries lack the sufficient resources, such as
desks, pencils, books, and even sometimes a physical classroom, which are
needed to provide a good learning experience. I hopefully can help the children
by bringing their plight to people’s attention, which will hopefully spark a constructive
conversation. I wish to have a similar effect as James Nachtwey’s images did
when it came to opening the eyes of ordinary people. I believe that all it
takes is one person to start the conversation about change, which can lead to
more people becoming aware of the issue. The only way to change something is by
people taking action; which is what I hope I can inspire people to do when it
comes to helping children out. I want to be a voice for these children, just as
Nachtwey was a voice for the children in Romania. It is terrible to see
children suffering, especially if there is something that can be done to stop
it. I hope to bring to people’s attention the seriousness of the situation at
hand and open people’s eyes to see that we can make a difference and open the
door for these children to have a good education. If children in third world
countries are given the resources to have a good education and a chance to show
their abilities, I believe that they someday will be able to change the world
and be part of conflict resolutions. Like James Nachtwey, I believe that
everyone has a story and these children deserve to be heard.
James Nachtwey is
considered one of the most inspiration photojournalists of our time, shedding
light on controversial world issues, such as social problems, war conflicts,
and human suffering. David Levi Strauss of TIME magazine explains how, “Jim
Nachtwey has an unshakeable belief in the power of images, and that there is a
real social value in people being able to see what happened.” Kira Pollack,
who is the TIME’s director of photography, regards Nachtwey as “more than a war photographer. At the heart
of his work are the world’s injustices: Famine. Poverty. Disease. Human rights
violations…More than any other photographer, he is able to
express hope in the midst of human suffering.” Many
people applaud Nachtwey for his devotion to uncover the imperfections in a
world that is too focused on being perfect. John Stomberg, the Director of the
Hood at Virginia Rice Kelsey, exclaims that “James Nachtwey has traveled the globe for decades with an unparalleled
eye for the human side of world affairs. He tells stories photographically that
delve deep into the underlying issues at hand while treating his subjects with
compassion and respect. He is deservedly recognized for the visual impact and
emotional depth of his photography.” Kurt Sundstrom, a
writer for TIME magazine, agrees with Stomberg, stating that “James Nachtwey’s
photographs have been the standard-bearers for documentary photography for more
than 30 years.” People respect what James Nachtwey has done over the last
30 years, for he is able to take gruesome and inhumane events and conflicts and
turn them into powerful messages that grab people’s attention. However, some people believe that James
Nachtwey’s images are unethical and his pictures evoke a sense of disgust
rather than sympathy. As Susie Linfield states, “I never look at Nachtwey’s
photographs when I am sad; in fact, I find his pictures harrowing in the best
of times. Nachtwey’s subjects are, more often than not, severely deformed through
various forms of violence, and they seem disconnected from history and
politics. In showing us the many ways that the human body can be destroyed,
Nachtwey’s pictures can inspire revulsion more easily than empathy.” No
matter what people’s viewpoints are on James Nachtwey and the images he creates,
Nachtwey has been able to bring awareness to a range of different issues, which
has sparked conversation, and ultimately caused change.
