Is it possible to put an end to a form of human behavior which has existed throughout history by means of photography?
James NachtweyIt is very hard to say where you're going until you get there. That kind of thing is based very much on instinct. As a photographer, one of the most important lessons I have learnt is that you have to learn to listen to and trust your own instinct. It has helped to guide me - this far at least.
James NachtweyI became a photographer in order to be a war photographer, and a photographer involved in what I thought were critical social issues. From the very beginning this was my goal.
James NachtweyI have been a witness, and these pictures are my testimony. The events I have recorded should not be forgotten and must not be repeated.
