James Hill has been a contract photographer for The New York Times since 1995 and his images have won many of photography’s most important prizes including World Press Photo, the Pulitzer Prize, and the Visa d’Or at Perpignan’s Visa Pour l’Image.
Originally a news and war photographer, with many years spent in conflict zones in the former USSR, the Middle East and Afghanistan, his work now is largely feature and project driven from his current base in Paris.
He has published six books, ranging from autobiographical stories about modern warfare to Soviet era mosaics, and soon his entire photographic archive will be available at its new home, the Bodleian Library of Oxford University.
