Kevin Carter
1.Carter had started to work as weekend sports photographer in 1983. In 1984, he moved on to work for the Johannesburg Star, bent on exposing the brutality of apartheid.
2.Carter was the first to photograph a public execution "necklacing" by black Africans in South Africa in the mid-1980s. The victim was Maki Skosana, who had been accused of having a relationship with a police officer
3.Carter later spoke of the images: "I was appalled at what they were doing. I was appalled at what I was doing. But then people started talking about those pictures... then I felt that maybe my actions hadn't been at all bad. Being a witness to something this horrible wasn't necessarily such a bad thing to do."
4.In March 1993, while on a trip to Sudan, Carter was preparing to photograph a starving toddler trying to reach a feeding center when a hooded vulture landed nearby. Carter reported taking the picture, because it was his "job title", and leaving. He came under criticism for failing to help the boy.
5.Carter committed suicide from all the critisism of not helping the starving child.

The boston bombings was a very brutal and tragic event. But the photo journalists were able to take these photos depicting the chaos and injury during the massacre.

high fashion stuffs
Victor Demarchelier-His work uses simple concepts to make big statements. He shoots for a variety of major magazines and has established himself as separate from, albeit still a descendant of, one of the greatest fashion photographers to ever live.
Jan Welters
Knows how to capture the darkness, mystery, and movement of fashion in a way all his own.
Giampaolo Sgura-
His ad campaigns have been extremely impressive, whether for Balmain, Dolce & Gabbana, Armani, Roberto Cavalli, or Gucci. His work is some of the sexiest in fashion photography.

Depicts 50,000 plastic bags, equal to the estimated number of pieces of floating plastic in every square mile in the world's oceans.
Depicts 48,000 plastic spoons, equal to the number of gallons of oil consumed around the world every second.
Depicts 92,500 agricultural plant seeds, equal to one hundredth of one percent of the number of people in the world today who suffer from malnutrition. To illustrate the entire statistic with 925 million seeds would require ten thousand prints of this image, covering more than eight football fields.
