Moore is the 2008 Best of Photojournalism Photographer of the Year for Large Markets and 2008 Robert Capa Gold Medal Winner, and will be discussing his award winning work in 2008. Moore is also the 2008 POYi Magazine Photographer of the Year.
Moore’s award-winning Best of Photojournalism portfolio included his stunning coverage of the assassination of Pakistan's former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and a heartbreaking photograph from Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day. In that photograph, a grieving Mary McHugh stretched prone on the grave of her slain fiancé, a soldier killed in battle in Iraq. Moore will be presented with his Best of Photojournalism awards on May 31 during NPPA’s annual Honors & Recognition ceremony, which wraps up Convergence ’08 in Louisville.
Moore started his career in photojournalism as a high school student in Irving, TX. He graduated from the University of Texas in Austin with a degree in Radio-Television-Film and while in school he had internships at The Idaho Statesman, The Pittsburgh Press, the Sacramento Bee, and The Albuquerque Tribune.
After college he was offered a job in Nicaragua working for the Associated Press, and he later covered India, South Africa, Mexico, and Egypt for AP during his 14 years with the news service. He left AP in 2005 to join Getty Images and has been based in Islamabad covering the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa.
