The photos Lynsey Addario will never forget
In our Ask a Nat Geo Expert Anything series, award-winning photojournalist Lynsey Addario opens up about the perils of her work, the personal price one pays, and her advice for those just getting into photography.
What does it take to cover the most heart-wrenching conflicts in the world? National Geographic Explorer Lynsey Addario can answer that question as well as anyone.
For decades, Addario has covered famines, civil wars, maternal mortality, and more for National Geographic and others. Her images are powerful, haunting, and human. Now, she's the subject of a new documentary, Love + War, which explores her rise in the male-dominated field of conflict photography, the dangers she faces—including two kidnappings—and the emotional toll of balancing her dedication to journalism with the demands of motherhood.
