Among the many books he has been involved in are Naples (with Cesare de Seta, Milan, 1992), Alexandria (with Robert Sole, Paris, 1998), Tout doit disparaitre (with Alain Jouffroy, Paris, 2001), Mount Athos (with Jacques Lacarriere, Paris, 2002), Aleppo (with Adonis, Paris, 2004), Carnets de Route (with Marc Fumaroli, Paris, 2005), Genoa (with Renzo Piano, Paris, 2006) and Amazigh of Morocco (with Driss Benzekri, Paris, 2006).

Catherine has covered varied subjects, including Australian Aborigines; Bollywood film stars; victims of Agent Orange in Vietnam; Russian ‘Old Believers’ in Alaska; Greenwich, Connecticut high society; and an Albanian farm family. In 1994, she was the only non-Vietnamese photojournalist to accompany General Giap on his historic first return to the forest encampment in the northern Vietnam highlands from which he plotted the battle of Dien Bien Phu. She also gained unprecedented access to Prince Charles for her 2006 National Geographic feature, ‘Not Your Typical Radical’.

Her work appears in National Geographic, National Geographic Traveler, Smithsonian, French and German GEO and other international publications. She has also participated in several books in the ‘Day in the Life’ series, Passage to Vietnam and Women in the Material World. Karnow is known for her vibrant, emotional and sensitive style of photographing people.

Less visible bonds are the subject of a jaundiced look at marital unions in two books. One is a collection of images depicting alienated grooms and lonely brides, I do I do I do. Chang’s most recent book, Double Happiness, is an examination of arranged marriages between Vietnamese country girls and older Taiwanese men.

Chang’s investigation of the ties that bind one person to another — and to society — draws on his own immigrant experience. Born in Taiwan, Chang studied at Soochow University and at Indiana University. He joined Magnum Photos in 1995 and now lives in Taipei and New York City.

Early in 2004, during the period of unrest in the south, he was assigned to Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat in particular.

Harvey soon became a staff photographer for National Geographic and was named ‘Magazine Photographer of the Year’ by the National Press Photographer’s Association in 1978. He has shot more than 30 stories for National Geographic. In 1979, he was largely responsible for a special issue dedicated to the national parks of the United States.

In 1986, he left the magazine’s staff to become a freelancer, and his photographs have appeared in publications such as Life, The New York Times and Sports Illustrated.

Harvey has lectured and led seminars at various universities. He has also conducted workshops such as the Santa Fe Workshop, the Annual Photographic Seminar in Steamboat Springs, the Eddie Adams Workshop, the Missouri Workshop and the Maine Photographic Workshop. Exhibitions of his work have been held at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Nikon Gallery, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. His photography stands out for its lyricism and spectacular backdrops.
