They make very few like frontline photojournalist Lynsey Addario. How otherwise can one explain the nonchalance of the woman sitting across me, who’s been kidnapped, assaulted, shot at, and yet, does not bat an eyelid when she recounts them. It is perhaps the tough experience that leads to the nonchalance.
42-year-old Addario is a celebrated photojournalist who has over 16 years of experience of reporting from conflict situations. She has shot pictures for the New York Times, New York Times Magazine, Time, Newsweek, LIFE, Getty, and National Geographic, to name a few. In conflict and post-conflict areas, she focuses on the struggle of women and children during the war.
