About the Photographer

Ivor Prickett (b. 1983 in Ireland) lives and works in Istanbul. He has a particular interest in the aftermath of war and its catastrophic humanitarian consequences, and his early projects focused on stories of displaced people in the Balkans and Caucasus.

In recent years, working exclusively for The New York Times, he has spent months in Ukraine, Syria and Iraq, documenting those conflicts first-hand through images and words.

His work has been recognized by institutions such as the World Press Photo, the Pulitzer Prizes, the Overseas Press Club Awards, Pictures of the Year International, Foam Talent, the Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize and the Ian Parry Scholarship. He was shortlisted for the Pulitzer Prize in 2018 and the Prix Pictet in 2019. His work has been exhibited in many venues, including the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Sotheby’s, London; Foam Gallery, Amsterdam; and the National Portrait Gallery, London. Prickett is represented by Panos Pictures and is a European Canon Ambassador.
