Bio

Through documentary photography, Andrea Bruce brings attention to people living in the aftermath of war.

For eight years she has chronicled the world's most troubled areas as a staff photographer for The Washington Post. She covered Iraq from 2003 to the present, following the intricacies and obstacles of the conflict experienced by Iraqis and the US military. She also wrote a weekly column for The Post called "Unseen Iraq." Andrea continues to work for The Washington Post as contract photographer.

Her awards include top honors from the White House News Photographers Association (where she has been named Photographer of the Year four times), several awards from the International Pictures of the Year contest, and the prestigious John Faber award from the Overseas Press Club in New York.

She has also been a finalist for The Aftermath Project grant and the Alicia Patterson Foundation Fellowship. This year she received the WHNPA grant for her work in Ingushetia.

Andrea is currently based in Afghanistan and is available for photography and multi-media assignments.
