I was a student in the '60s, a time of social upheaval and questioning,
0

5306
J’étais étudiant dans les années 60, une époque d’agitation sociale et de questionnement,
00:24
and -- on a personal level -- an awakening sense of idealism.

et au niveau personnel, d’idéalisme émergent.
00:28
The war in Vietnam was raging, the Civil Rights movement was under way
2
9932
4205
La guerre du Vietnam faisait rage ; le mouvement des droits civiques était en route
00:33
and pictures had a powerful influence on me.
3
14137

et les images avaient une puissante influence sur moi.
00:36
Our political and military leaders were telling us one thing
4
17283
3623
Nos chefs militaires et politiques nous disaient une chose
00:39
and photographers were telling us another.
5
20906
2713
et les photographes nous disaient quelque chose d’autre.
00:42
I believed the photographers and so did millions of other Americans.
6
23619
4544
Je croyais les photographes et des millions d’autres Américains ont fait de même.
00:47
Their images fuelled resistance to the war and to racism.
7
28163
4161
Leurs images alimentaient un mouvement de résistance à la guerre et au racisme.
00:51
They not only recorded history -- they helped change the course of history.
8
32324
4644
Ils ne faisaient pas qu’enregistrer l’histoire, ils aidaient à changer le cours de l’histoire.
00:55
Their pictures became part of our collective consciousness
9
36968
3618
Leurs photos sont devenues une part de notre conscience collective
00:59
and, as consciousness evolved into a shared sense of conscience,
10
40586
3893
et, tandis que la sensibilisation évoluait vers une conscience partagée,
01:03
change became not only possible, but inevitable.
11
44479
3288
le changement ne devint pas seulement possible, mais inévitable.
01:06
It puts a human face on issues which, from afar,
12
47767
3751
Cela donne un visage humain aux problèmes qui de loin
01:10
can appear abstract or ideological or monumental in their global impact.
13
51518
5407
peuvent sembler abstraits ou idéologiques ou monumentaux dans leur impact global.
01:15
What happens at ground level, far from the halls of power,
14
56925
4645
Ce qui passe sur le terrain, loin des couloirs du pouvoir,
01:20
happens to ordinary citizens one by one.
15
61570
3422
se transmet de citoyen ordinaire en citoyen ordinaire.
01:23
And I understood that documentary photography
16
64992
2323
Et je comprenais que la photographie documentaire
01:26
has the ability to interpret events from their point of view.
17
67315
4490
a la capacité d’interpréter les événements de leur point de vue.
01:30
It gives a voice to those who otherwise would not have a voice.
18
71805
4048
Elle donne une voix à ceux qui sinon n’auraient pas de voix.
01:34
My TED wish. There’s a vital story that needs to be told
19
75853
5485
Mon souhait TED. Il y a une histoire vitale qui doit être racontée
01:40
and I wish for TED to help me gain access to it
20
81338
3607
et je souhaite que TED m’aide à le faire
01:43
and then to help me come up with innovative and exciting ways
21
84945
3584
et ensuite m’aide à trouver des façons innovantes et excitantes
01:47
to use news photography in the digital era.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
James Nachtwey - PhotojournalistPhotojournalist James Nachtwey is considered by many to be the greatest war photographer of recent decades. He has covered conflicts and major social issues in more than 30 countries.
Why you should listen
For the past three decades, James Nachtwey has devoted himself to documenting wars, conflicts and critical social issues, working in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Lebanon, the West Bank and Gaza, Israel, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, the Philippines, South Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Rwanda, South Africa, Russia, Bosnia, Chechnya, Kosovo, Romania, Brazil and the United States.
Nachtwey has been a contract photographer with Time since 1984. However, when certain stories he wanted to cover -- such as Romanian orphanages and famine in Somalia -- garnered no interest from magazines, he self-financed trips there. He is known for getting up close to his subjects, or as he says, "in the same intimate space that the subjects inhabit," and he passes that sense of closeness on to the viewer.
In putting himself in the middle of conflict, his intention is to record the truth, to document the struggles of humanity, and with this, to wake people up and stir them to action.
