Directory of Photography, 2009-2012
Michel du Cille was among the most passionate and decorated photojournalists of his time, having won three Pulitzer Prizes for his dramatic images of struggle and triumph. He died on December 11, 2014, at the age of 58 while on assignment for The Washington Post in Liberia, covering the human impact of an Ebola outbreak. Over a distinguished career, he covered natural disasters, drug addiction, poverty and neglect in the care of veterans. In explaining why he often put himself at risk for his work, he said simply, "The story must be told." |
