“My name is Ovidiu Tutunaru, I’m 29 years old and I live in Bucharest, Romania. I currently work in online marketing for a private media company and I’m madly passionate about photography.
I’m an amateur photographer for many years now and I’ll probably remain an amateur photographer for the rest of my life. I don’t really want to turn photography into a job, because, if I do that, it will bore me to death after a while. I think that photography, like any other creative passion, it’s best to be taken lightly. Too much seriousness can ruin it…..”

Welcome to the newest photoblog in our community, war photographer James Nachtwey. His photographic images are powerful and emotional as he documents some of worse conditions of death and destruction.

James Nachtwey grew up in Massachusetts and graduated from Dartmouth College, where he studied Art History and Political Science (1966-70). Images from the Vietnam War and the American Civil Rights movement had a powerful effect on him and were instrumental in his decision to become a photographer. He has worked aboard ships in the Merchant Marine, and while teaching himself photography, he was an apprentice news film editor and a truck driver.

In 1976 he started work as a newspaper photographer in New Mexico, and in 1980, he moved to New York to begin a career as a freelance magazine photographer. His first foreign assignment was to cover civil strife in Northern Ireland in 1981 during the IRA hunger strike. Since then, Nachtwey has devoted himself to documenting wars, conflicts and critical social issues. He has worked on extensive photographic essays in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Lebanon, the West Bank and Gaza, Israel, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, the Philippines, South Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Rwanda, South Africa, Russia, Bosnia, Chechnya, Kosovo, Romania, Brazil and the United States.
