  3. Photographer of the year • Born in the US state of Iowa, he graduated from the University of Iowa with a B.A in Cultural Anthropology, African Studies, and Journalism. He now lives in Tokyo as AP’S chief photographer for Asia. David Guttenfelder ended 2013 with the title Time Magazine’s Instagram Photographer of the year. • Daily life is really what I try to focus on when I’m there. … It’s unscripted, it’s candid,” Guttenfelder said. “For people to see their own life in other people’s lives, I think it has a lot of power to break down barriers.”

  4. CAREER • David Guttenfelder has spent all of his career as a photojournalist working, and living outside of his native United States. • Freelance photographer in East Africa. • Studied at the University of Dares Salaam in Tanzania. • An Associated Press photographer. • Kenya, Ivory Coast, India, and Japan. • . He is, by far, the most popular traditional photojournalist on Instagram. World Press Photo • International Center for Photography Infinity Prize Award • Overseas Press Club • Photojournalist of The Year • Seven time finalist for the Pulitzer Prize

  5. NORTH KOREA • Guttenfelders ‘Behind-The-Wall’( Instagram) photographs of North Korea have been published across the world . • The Associated Press signed an unprecedented deal with North Korea’s authorities, gaining controlled access to the secluded country. “This is a place that traditionally hasn’t been photographed,” says Guttenfelder. “When they opened up the 3G network for foreigners, everything changed.

  6. BEHIND THE WALLS

  7. MENTIONABLES • Genocide in Rwanda • U.S.-led wars in Kosovo • Afghanistan • Iraq • Israeli Palestinian conflict • 2008 election of US President Obama • Tsunami and nuclear disaster in Japan • Three summer Olympic Games. Guttenfelders work from the U.S.-led war in Afghan is part of “War/Photography: Images of Armed Conflict and It’s Aftermath” that is currently being exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, The Corcoran Gallery of Art, and the Brooklyn Museum. 

  8. CONCLUSION: • In closing David Guttenfelder is not a traditional journalist. He usesSmart Phones- (I-Phones) Photoshop to capture his images for the press and he is quoted as saying: • “Not only is Instagram rewriting the business model of photography, but, says Guttenfelder, it’s also rewriting the rules of photography itself. “I’m not just talking about the dimensions of the photos, or the fact that we’re shooting square images. There’s a new visual language, and not all photographers are comfortable with that. Guttenfelder doesn’t know where this is all heading, but there’s no doubt in his mind that smartphone photography will become an essential part of the photojournalism industry. “It’s going to be the way wire services and magazines work. It’s going to evolve.”
