He was a student of the Dartmouth College where he studied Art, History, and Political Science (1966-1970). The pictures from the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Movement had a profound impact on him when he was still in college in the 60\u2019s. The stories that the photographers told were in complete contradiction to the stories the political and the military leaders told the world. He wanted to be of help somehow; he chose photography.<\/p>\n<p>He wanted to be a photographer only because he wanted to be a war photographer.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18096\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18096\" style=\"width: 362px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/reviewermag.com\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/inferno-cover.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/reviewermag.com\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/inferno-cover.jpg?resize=362%2C499\" alt=\"\" width=\"362\" height=\"499\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18096\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/reviewermag.com\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/inferno-cover.jpg?w=362&amp;ssl=1 362w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/reviewermag.com\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/inferno-cover.jpg?resize=218%2C300&amp;ssl=1 218w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 362px) 100vw, 362px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18096\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">INFRENO by James Nachtwey, cover.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>From publisher Phaidon&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phaidon.com\/agenda\/photography\/articles\/2016\/september\/13\/finding-a-home-for-james-nachtwey-s-archive\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a>:<\/strong> James Nachtwey is the only photographer to have won the Overseas Press Club of America\u2019s Robert Capa Gold Medal five times. Nachtwey has also been awarded the World Press Photo of the Year on two separate occasions, served as a member of the Magnum Photo agency, and contributed to Time magazine since 1984.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, when it comes to wider acclaim, Nachtwey is perhaps less well known than many of his contemporaries. This is partly due to the nature of the photographer\u2019s work.<\/p>\n<p>Nachtwey has covered the Rwandan genocide, the Somali famine, the Bosnian war, the IRA hunger strikes, the AIDS crisis in sub-Saharan Africa, and conflicts in Chechnya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, as well as the September 11 2001 attacks on New York.<\/p>\n<p><strong>From the Amazon listing:<\/strong> &#8220;Though he is probably the world&#8217;s most honored recent war photographer, James Nachtwey calls himself an &#8220;antiwar photographer,&#8221; as the preeminent critic Luc Sante notes in his excellent foreword to Inferno, a landmark collection of 382 war-crime photos. Nachtwey has taken shrapnel and had his hair literally parted by a bullet, but he&#8217;s never lost his compassionate outrage. The stunning images in this huge-format book&#8211;brutally abused Romanian orphans, Rwandan genocide victims, a rat-hunter family of Indian Untouchables barbecuing dinner, skeletal dehydration victims in Sudan, the miserable in Bosnia, Chechnya, Zaire, Somalia, and Kosovo&#8211;are excruciating to look at, yet impossible to tear your eyes away from. Nachtwey&#8217;s art is meant to force us to face unbearable facts. Faces are the key: you can&#8217;t gaze into the eyes of a Romanian toddler tied to a bed, or wired to a primitive &#8220;electromagnetic therapy&#8221; device, and not grasp the horror more fully than you would by watching a TV news item or reading a newspaper piece. (The book&#8217;s text explains each photo&#8217;s context.)Inferno is also a masterpiece in strictly aesthetic terms. The power of Nachtwey&#8217;s images transcends journalism. Bloody handprints on a living-room wall in Kosovo, the ghostly imprint of a Serb victim&#8217;s vanished body on a floor, a Hutu with crazed eyes displaying the machete gashes he received for opposing the Tutsis&#8217; butchery, a howling orphan in a crib, one eye contracted in anger&#8211;these are compositions that depend, like Goya&#8217;s, on the artist&#8217;s skill as much as the subject&#8217;s legitimate claim on our conscience. Nachtwey&#8217;s photographs make us capable of imagining that it could have happened to us. They are hard to forget, or forgive. &#8211;Tim Appelo&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18105\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18105\" style=\"width: 690px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/reviewermag.com\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/inferno-6-nachtwey.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/reviewermag.com\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/inferno-6-nachtwey.jpg?resize=690%2C455\" alt=\"From INFERNO\" width=\"690\" height=\"455\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/reviewermag.com\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/inferno-6-nachtwey.jpg?w=690&amp;ssl=1 690w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/reviewermag.com\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/inferno-6-nachtwey.jpg?resize=300%2C198&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18105\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Palestinians fighting the Israeli army, West Bank, 2000.
