Women on the Front Lines and Behind the Lens
Women on the Front Lines and Behind the Lens
While you can’t necessarily identify if an image was captured by a woman or a man, women still tend to be underrepresented in the photography world — and tend to face unique challenges.

In the five years Baghdad was my home, I got to work (or just hang out) with some of the finest news photographers in the world: Yuri Kozyrev, Franco Pagetti, Kate Brooks, James Nachtwey, Robert Nicklesberg, Lynsey Addario, the late Chris Hondros… the list is as long as it is distinguished. Their immense talent and incredible bravery combined to make the Iraq war arguably the most exhaustively photographed conflict in human history. This selection doesn’t begin to capture the immensity of their collective achievement, but it is evocative of the horrors — and just occasionally, hope — they were able to chronicle.

Q&A: NYT’s Lynsey Addario on Libya sexual assault
New York Times photographer Lynsey Addario is speaking publicly about sexual aggression she experienced while detained in Libya last month by forces loyal to Muammar Qaddafi. Addario was held for six days with Times colleagues Anthony Shadid, Stephen Farr

You know, I actually wanted to shame the Libyans. It’s very important that they understand how embarrassing, how gross it is, and what a bad name it gives to other Muslim countries. I’ve gotten emails from translators and drivers all around the Middle East just saying, “I’m so sorry that this happened to you,” and “I’m so embarrassed that this has happened to you. We are not like that.” Libyans need to be a little more introspective about what kind of society produces these kinds of people. So when I went forward I wanted it to get out that this kind of behavior, which is just unacceptable, is going on.

Lynsey Addario: "It's What I Do"
Lynsey Addario: ‘It’s What I Do’
Lynsey Addario, newly released from captivity in Libya, tells why it is important that wars are covered by female photographers as well as men.
via Lens Blog: http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/30/lynsey-addario-its-what-i-do/
I was reading the feedback to the account that Anthony, Tyler, Steve and I wrote. (“Four Times Journalists Held Captive in Libya Faced Days of Brutality.”) Some comments said: “How dare a woman go to a war zone?” and “How could The New York Times let a woman go to the war zone?”
To me, that’s grossly offensive. This is my life, and I make my own decisions.
If a woman wants to be a war photographer, she should. It’s important. Women offer a different perspective. We have access to women on a different level than men have, just as male photographers have a different relationship with the men they’re covering.

Lynsey Addario, on assignment in Libya, describes the challenges photographers face, including drivers who won’t go anywhere near the front.
via Lens Blog: http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/03/at-a-deadly-shifting-front-in-libya/
It was pretty scary. The journalist’s instinct is to want to go as far forward as possible. But our drivers refused. Two drivers today refused to go forward. They’re drivers; they’re not journalists. So a lot of them just said, “We’re not going to take you forward.”
