​The Pictures I didn’t Take | ​John ​Isaac | TEDxIHEParis

Despite facing confronting events while working for the United Nations, photographing distressing scenes of famine and civil war, John always chose to put humanity first in his work. Believing that human dignity comes before photojournalism, John describes the photos he consciously did not take. He also shares personal anecdotes from his experiences with Audrey Hepburn, Mother Theresa and Michael Jackson. John Isaac worked as a photojournalist for the United Nations for 25 years and traveled to over 100 countries documenting war and famine and the never ending struggles of our changing world. After retiring from the UN, he decided to turn his attention to nature and wildlife and to help save the tigers of India. In addition to his work for the UN, he is also known for his independent freelance work photographing celebrities. John has received many National and International awards and several documentaries have been made with him about his life and work. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
