If you need to cite one contemporary documentary photographer every photojournalist student should know. Nachtwey is the one, even though his last name is so difficult to spell.

We will be watching a video about him next week: "War Photographer."
The video material will be appeared as questions in the Final Exam.

Want to know more about him, Google him.
