chad hunt photography

Hunt received his BFA in photography from the Columbus College of Art and Design and studied at Virginia Commonwealth University's MFA program. Other career training included attending the Eddie Adams Barnstorm VII Workshop for emerging photojournalists 1994 and interning with Mary Ellen Mark in 1996. Hunt's professional career began 1999 when he landed a staff job as a photographer at Richmond, Virginia's Style Weekly. During his time there, Hunt received 38 Virginia Press Awards. In 2004 he moved to New York to pursue a freelance career and has since shot for a range of publications and clients including Men's Journal, Popular Mechanics, The New York Times, Vonage and The Martin Agency.

Last year, Hunt made two journeys to Afghanistan as an embedded photographer with the U.S. MIlitary. His first trip was to Forward Operating Base Kamdesh and was completely self-assigned and funded. In November, he returned-- this time with writer Joshua Hammer-- for Men's Journal. They were embedded with the 10th Mountain Division at the Korengal Outpost for a story which appeared in the March 2007 issue, "The Taliban Hunters." In both of these trips, Hunt's primary goal was to capture the day-to-day life of the soldiers stationed there, and to help tell the story of an often-overlooked war.

Recent recognition for his Afghanistan series includes:

* 2007 nominee for the Santa Fe Prize for Photography

* Included in the 2007 National Portrait Prize exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, London, England.

* Woodstock Center of Photography, Photography Now exhibit -- prize winner

Work from this series is currently available through CLAMPART Gallery, NYC
