James Nachtwey

The other day in class we watched a documentary on the life and work of photographer James Nachtwey, its called "War Photographer." If you are a photographer and enjoy looking at amazing composition and black and white photographs definitely consider watching it, or at least check out the website ;) The movie is slow moving but once finished you wont regret watching it. James has devoted his LIFE to his work, he's goes to the place and event no one else wants to go. He get up close and personal and really builds relationship with those he's shooting and it shows in his photographs. James photographs war and destruction and the effects of it. He shoots black and white film and has an incredible eye for composition. His commentary and quotes through the movie are so inspiring.
