Michael Kamber website

Posted by Ben in Africa, General, Middle East, Photojournalism

Good friend and NY Times photographer Michael Kamber has a newly designed website showcasing some of his work from the last few years.

Mike has worked extensively in Africa from east to west, as well as Iraq and Haiti, and has strong material up there well worth a look. Mike is one of a handful of photojournalists I know who also writes news reports on assignment - which is no mean feat when you are filing photos on a daily basis - and some of these reports are readable on the site.

I particularly like his “Children of War” project: (from his description)

“I never set out to photograph children of war, I simply looked at my photos one day and saw how many images showed children caught, often literally, in the crossfire”

    Ben,
    Kamber’s website is phenomenal — of course, the photos are astonishing, and the design is as well — do you know who did the Web design for his site?
    Best,
    Jeff
