Carolyn Cole, PHOTOJOURNALISM: AN INTERNATIONAL APPROACH

As our world becomes increasingly intertwined, photojournalism has an important role in bridging the gap between cultures. International news photographer, Carolyn Cole, has spent the past 15 years traveling to distant places to capture the news and bring it to the readers of the Los Angeles Times. She has covered the conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel, Sudan and Liberia, often focusing on victims caught in the crossfire. Her high impact photography, not only informs, but captures the aesthetics of light, color and composition, often under chaotic circumstances.

Carolyn Cole began working as a newspaper photographer in 1986 after graduating with a Bachelor of Journalism from the University of Texas. Since then she has worked for five newspapers and spent two years as a freelance photographer in Mexico City. Her coverage of the civil conflict in Liberia earned her the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for feature photography. She is also a two-time recipient of the Robert Capa Award for Courage in Photojournalism.
