Hailey Porth Weekly Post

Stephen Dupont

A man passionate about his work. From Sydney Australia Dupont has taken some of the most controversial pictures to be published in our generation. A man who's heart was captured by Afghanistan he has brought so much light to a country that is so broken by war and so many other things.

His project Afghanistan: The Perils of Freedom started in 1993 and did not end until 2009.

This picture in particular came out in the New York Times and completely wrecked people. This picture is of a dead Taliban man being burned by US soldiers in the field. Because of this picture US military policy has been changed. It showed some of the worst cultural insensitivities the US had for other countries. 

Dupont hopes that he is not only a journalist but an artist. One who's pictures stand out. 

These are from his Papua New Guinea Portraits and Diaries
