2. “Anja Niedringhaus began working as a
freelance photographer at age 17 while still in
high school. In 1990, she began working full-
time as a photojournalist when she joined the
European Pressphoto Agency in Frankfurt,
Germany. As EPA’s Chief Photographer she
spent the first ten years of her career covering
the wars in the former Yugoslavia. In
November 2002, Niedringhaus moved to the
Associated Press as a traveling photographer.
She was the only woman on a team of 11 AP
photographers awarded the 2005 Pulitzer Prize
for breaking news photography. Today,
Niedringhaus is regularly on the road covering
major events for the AP when not working
from her base in Switzerland”. – The
