Autor

Paul Chesley comes from a family of inventors, artists, and adventurers who encouraged exploration into the unknown. By the time Chesley was in his mid-twenties, he realized that photography was his primary calling, and a way to make a contribution to life by documenting the peoples and cultures of the world through his camera. For the next four decades, beginning in the late 1970s, he completed more than 35 projects around the world with the National Geographic Society. He also freelanced for numerous American and international publications including Time, Life, Newsweek, Fortune, Forbes, New York Times, Paris Match, and Stern-Geo magazines. His latest memoir Paul Chesley, A Photographic Voyage won the National Ben Franklin Gold Award for America's best coffee table book. Chesley was also honored by the inclusion of his work in the Society's first major exhibition The Art of Photography at National Geographic: A 100 Year Retrospective at the Corcoran Gallery of art in Washington DC. Solo exhibitions of his work have appeared in museums in London, Tokyo, New York and Honolulu.In 2012 during the National Geographic Society's 125th anniversary, Chesley's work was included in the exhibition and auction at Christie's in New York City. His greatest enjoyment is trying to capture the lives of people and cultures on his international photographic assignments.
