Ben Brody: Afghanistan|Endgame

www.fruitlands.org

Ben Brody is an American documentary photographer who has covered the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as both a soldier and a civilian. According to Brody, "Since my first trip to Iraq in 2005 I have been an observer of evolving military culture and doctrine, and how it reflects the changing American character and political identity. In Afghanistan I find a forlorn story of the absurdity, alienation, and unintended consequences of modern war." Brody's first solo exhibit, Afghanistan|Endgame is a poignant reflection on his ten years of reporting on war. Brody’s work in Iraq has been published In Photojournalists on War: The Untold Stories from Iraq, by Michael Kamber and his photo story Endgame: Afghanistan was recognized by the Leica Oskar Barnack Awards and Photolucida's Critical Mass Awards in 2014. In 2010, he was nominated by GlobalPost for a Pulitzer Prize for Photography. His photographs have been published in The New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today and many others. Based in Massachusetts, Brody works primarily for GlobalPost and The GroundTruth Project. For more about Brody, please visit www.photobrody.com.
