“John Moore’s photographs have the power to move, educate, and inspire,” said Capa Space founder Elise Graham. “His unwavering commitment to chronicling the human stories behind the headlines is remarkable. We’re honored to share this important body of work with our community.”
As a senior staff photographer and special correspondent for Getty Images, John Moore has covered major global events in over 65 countries on six continents. His prestigious accolades include the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography, World Press Photo honors, the John Faber Award, and the Robert Capa Gold Medal.
“It’s been very easy for Americans to ignore over the years the desperation that people have to have a better life,” Moore said. “They often leave with their children with their shirts on their backs.”
And Moore on his photo the Crying Girl in Red:
“This one was tough for me. As soon as it was over, they were put into a van. I had to stop and take deep breaths,” he said. “All I wanted to do was pick her up. But I couldn’t.”
The Faces Of Exodus exhibition at The Capa Space promises to be a powerful and timely exploration of one of the most critical humanitarian challenges of our time. For more information please visit thecapaspace.org.
