It’s a new year, which means more episodes of Women Who Travel are coming your way. In 2020, we’re kicking things off with a new monthly series called “How I Became…,” where we’ll sit down with master travelers who spend most of their lives on the road doing things those of us at our desks on a daily basis never thought possible. First up? Women Who Travel advisory board member, award-winning photojournalist, and author Lynsey Addario. We chat with her about picking up her first camera, taking less than stellar shots on her tour of South America in her early twenties, and spending her decades-long career photographing women. Delving deeper, we talk about how travel can heal the trauma of photographing war, death, and more—and how it takes years to learn to say “no” to risk.

Writing about photography, and in particular writing in detail about individual photographs, it’s sometimes easy to feel that you might be over reading an image, and perhaps reading things into it …

How the inspiring photojournalist responded when one of her photos was pulled from the cover of the New York Times Magazine for questions of authenticity.
“I would never think of myself as a role model,” says Lynsey Addario. The 41-year-old, twice-kidnapped, mother-of-one, award-winning photojournalist has released, this month, her first book: an autobiography of her life as a Connecticut-born photographer who has spent the last 15 years witnessing the true human cost of war, particularly for women across the world.
In 20 years covering the world’s most desperate places, Lynsey Addario has been kidnapped, assaulted, and many times moved to tears. Her new book, ‘It’s What I Do,’ tells her story.
t’s What I Do is a story of guts, professional ambition, and personal growth that will be familiar to a generation of journalists who came of age on the battlefields of America’s war on terror after the attacks of September 11, 2001. It is also the story of a woman making her way in a man’s world, whether she’s fending off men grabbing her ass while shooting on the streets of Pakistan, or being told by a male correspondent that her being a woman will interfere with their access to a prominent Afghan leader they’ve been assigned to profile. (Addario quickly finds her way to the warlord’s mansion, and is busy shooting when her colleague shows up.)
“The possibility to mobilize the international community to act on human suffering is what drives me every day as a photojournalist,” says Addario. “Reportage by Getty Images shows a passion and commitment to this profession, to enabling and promoting our job as communicators, so it is with excitement that I look forward to our collaboration.”
