Recently, Donald Trump threatened Nigeria if its leaders did not stop the violence against Christians. Back in 2013, I documented the war there and saw the tragic aftermath of violent attacks.

Visual Riff: "Office" Spaces

This selection from my archive explores the idea of the "office" as a social setting— a space of cultural identity that defines what our work means to us.

Photo of the Day: On the set of The Veil Is Burning, a newlywed wife is gagged and killed by her in-laws, who are furious over the paltry dowry. Pakistan, 1998. Though such murders are now rare, the view that a married woman belongs exclusively to her husband's family has been slow to die.

Photojournalist Ed Kashi and documentary filmmaker Julie Winokur have spent decades telling urgent, human stories — from climate injustice to ageing, migration, and forgotten coastlines. In this episode of From the Marginlands, Arati and Prem talk to them about the art of long-form storytelling, the patience it demands, and why bearing witness matters now more than ever.

Visual Riffs: Family Ties

I've had the privilege of photographing families across cultures, nationalities, races, and religions. I've witnessed deep love and goodness, but also tragedy, violence, neglect, and death. These photos represent the vast range of family ties.

I'm deeply honored to finally share that my archive has been acquired by the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History, housed at the University of Texas at Austin. In conjunction with this acquisition they will be publishing a retrospective book of my career coming out in October 2025.
