James Nachtwey is considered by some as the greatest modern day war photographer,his approach definitely follows Capa's first rule of war photography ' to get close' he calls it "in the same intimate space that the subjects inhabit," and that sense of closeness is passed on to the viewer. In this video James is discussing how wish to photograph the outbreak of a new drug-resistant strain of tuberculosis.
The beginning is the same in this video, but James goes on to showcase his life's work. If you can find it watch war photographer, which follows James around several conflict zones, it's amazing how quiet he works and moves around his subjects.
