“What it takes is a desire, a hunger, to see and to capture things.” —Ed Kashi

Ed Kashi believes that a photographer’s greatest work comes from the issues he or she genuinely cares about. His commitment to the geopolitical stories of our day has taken him from the Niger Delta, where he covered the development of oil and its negative effects on the region, to his own backyard, where he documented his own experiences with aging in America. For Kashi, it is important that his work makes a difference and inspires engagement with the audience. “Photography is singular,” he said, “in that it makes you stop, it makes you think, it makes you question.” His work has been recognized by Pictures
