Benjamin Lowy is a New York-based photojournalist, who covered major stories as the Washington DC sniper case and the ongoing conflicts in Israel, Iraq and Haiti. He has been on assignment for Time, Newsweek, Fortune, Rolling Stone, and National Geographic Adventure magazines and his work has also appeared in Stern, CNN, WCBS, PBS, as well as in numerous books. He recently completed the World Press Joop Swart Masterclass in the Netherlands.
I came to know his excellent work through the National Geographic Adventure magazine, in which he published a feature on his trip on the river in Yunnan, China, pushing on to four other countries, including Laos.
His website has a number of very interesting, and some may say unusual, galleries but I chose the Wandering in Ethiopia to showcase here on TTP. It's an unusual perspective on his travels within this amazing country, especially in the city of Addis Ababa and Gonder. The photographs are super saturated, and are more urban-related than anything else.
A young photographer whose promising career is assured, Ben's work has attracted the attention of many in the photography industry and has deservedly won many awards.
