In the 1990s Jack covered eight wars. He achieved some extraordinary news coverage, and was particularly intent on capturing the plight of ordinary people caught up in the extraordinary violence in places like Yugoslavia, Somalia, Rwanda, Palestine, Liberia, Sudan and Soviet Central Asia. For the last decade Jack has been committed to documenting the pandemic of HIV/AIDS for the London-based Terence Higgins Aids Trust as part of the huge “Positive Lives” project. He is the recipient of significant international awards including World Press Photo Amsterdam, POY (Photographer of the Year awards in the USA) and the Fifty Crows Award for Documentary Photography. His work has been exhibited in major galleries worldwide. Now based in Bangkok, Thailand, Jack works on global assignments and is the founder of The Jack Picone Photography Workshops, a series of regular photojournalism workshops tutored by world renowned photographers focusing on the Asian region. |
