(b. 1973, Westport, CT)
Lynsey Addario is one of the foremost American photographers. Her work covers underrepresented stories ranging from those of transgender sex workers in New York’s Meatpacking District, to victims of domestic violence in Afghanistan, to humanitarian crises, and women’s issues around the globe. Her work depicts not just the ravages of war, but human stories.
Addario is the recipient of major awards including the Pulitzer Prize and MacArthur Fellowship. Her work is regularly featured on the front pages of The New York Times and in National Geographic. Addario has covered conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Lebanon, Darfur, South Sudan, Somalia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Yemen, Syria, and ongoing war in Ukraine. American Photo Magazine named her as one of the most influential photographers of the past 25 years, saying she changed the way we saw the world's conflicts. She is the author of the bestselling memoir, "It's What I Do” and has published a collection of photography, “Of Love and War,” with Penguin Press.
