He began working as a freelance photojournalist covering the civil unrest in Northern Ireland in 1981. Since then, he has been named Magazine Photographer of the Year seven times and regularly contributes to national and international publications such as Time Magazine. In November 2006, Mr. Nachtwey was named as a recipient of the 2007 TED Prize, which honors individuals who impact life positively. Mr. Nachtwey also won the World Press Photo Award and numerous other distinguished awards for his moving photographs.
