Matthew Naythons - Light in Dark Places

In his new book, Light in Dark Places, Matthew Naythons says about his work “Photographs reveal worlds that are not always what we want to see. Often in shadows, however, they need to be seen. Cameras peer through shadows. I’ve used mine to shed light in dark places.”
From the introduction of the book:
Published by the Briscoe Center for American History at The University of Texas at Austin and distributed by the University of Texas Press, the book features opening essays by New Yorker writers Judith Thurman and Jon Lee Anderson, followed by an afterword by noted historian Dr. Don Carleton, which together provide critical and historical context for Naythons’ life and work.
Trained as a physician and self-taught as a photojournalist, Naythons forged a singular and unexpected path—one that placed him on the front lines of history while remaining deeply attuned to the human condition.
Light in Dark Places includes nearly 200 photographs alongside “The Road I Chose,” his autobiographical narrative tracing a journey from California emergency rooms to war zones, refugee camps, and sites of political upheaval across the globe—propelled by what he calls chutzpah, luck, and stubborn resolve.
