Since the start of the Covid-19 crisis, the Franco-American documentary photographer Peter Turnley has been in New York. His photographs show the deeply human face and soul of this moment.

New Photo Essays from Peter Turnley
I have just updated my website with 12 new photo essays, made in recent times. I am passionate about visual story telling in photo essay form, and about the process of creating a visual narrative that can ask as many questions as affirm answers. I am also passionate about trying to make 2 and 2 make 5 rather than 3 through the process of linking and juxtaposing imagery, and interested in opening discussion and dialogue and imparting a sense of perception of how certain dynamics feel, rather than attempt description or explanation. My Photo Essay webpage now offers the viewer 27 different photo essays or portfolios that can be seen here:

“The Human Condition,” an Exhibit by Peter Turnley in Paris
Four Decades of Photographing the Human Condition
In an exhibition in Paris, four decades of Peter Turnley’s photographs are on display from around the world, encompassing major conflicts and quiet, quotidian moments.
via Lens Blog: https://archive.nytimes.com/lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/09/12/forty-decades-of-photographing-the-human-condition/
As important as these images are to him, Mr. Turnley said, so too are the photographs he has taken of the more mundane moments in people’s daily lives. A great admirer of photographers like Robert Capa and Edward Boubat, Mr. Turley said he considered himself neither a war correspondent, like the former, nor a “peace correspondent,” as the latter was called. “One might say I am a correspondent of life,” Mr. Turnley said.

In Memory – The War in Iraq, Ten Years On
Peter Turnley covered the first Gulf War in 1991, and was present from the first day of this latest war in Iraq which started yesterday March 19, 2003. I worked as an unembedded photojournalist in Iraq for the first five weeks of the war and spent much time in southern Iraq, near Basra, arriving in Baghdad, the same day US forces entered the City in April of 2003. It is important that a photographic record serve as a constant opportunity to assess the past, and think about the future. Somethings should never be forgotten. In this spirit, here a portfolio of 20 photographs

I’ve witnessed and photographed many of the most important moments of geopolitical change of the past thirty years: the fall of Berlin Wall, the Velvet Revolution in Prague, the overthrow of Ceausescu in Romania, the end of communism and the breakup of the Soviet Union, and the Tiananmen Square uprising and military crackdown in China to name the most important ones. After following daily from afar the uprising in Egypt, and being inspired by the wonderful and courageous photographs made by many of my colleagues who were already there, I decided last Wednesday to board a plane for Cairo. I was well aware of the potential dangers for journalists covering this story.

Just carrying a Leica around with you can be a fashion statement. Former Newsweek photographer Peter Turnley has used a Leica for more than thirty years, especially for shooting Paris street photography. “They are elegant, discreet, and high-performing cameras, and they can accompany me like a friend through daily life,” says Turnley, who currently teaches photography workshops around the world. “A Leica M camera is also a bit like a piece of jewelry, like a special watch, that not only tells good time but also makes you feel good about yourself when you wear it.”
