We are delighted to announce that internationally renowned photojournalist Eugene Richards has joined Reportage by Getty Images as a featured contributor.
Along with being a photojournalist, Eugene is also a noted filmmaker and writer. He has produced many groundbreaking and remarkable books, which have inspired many photographers and made him a true master of photography.
Recently, Eugene was awarded the Amnesty International Photojournalism Award for his work, "No One Much Cares" - a compelling portfolio of patients inside psychiatric institutions in Mexico, Armenia, Paraguay, Hungry, Kosovo and Argentina. This work is an extract from his recent book "A Procession of Them" and has run in Newsweek.
Among his numerous honors received, Eugene has won the W. Eugene Smith Memorial Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, three National Endowment for the Arts grants, the Getty Images Grant for Editorial Photography, the Leica Medial of Excellence, the Leica Oskar Barnack Award, the Olivier Rebbot Award from the Overseas Press Club, three Canon Photo Essayists Awards and the Robert F. Kennedy Lifetime Achievement Journalism Award.
His award-winning work has been exhibited in more than 40 solo shows in the United States and abroad. This year, he will have two major exhibitions of his work -- "The Blue Room" in Arles and "War is Personal" in Perpignan.
