  • Bio:
    I can honestly say that the EAW XVII workshop began my professional career as a photojournalist.

    A recent Emmy Award winner in the Outstanding Current News Coverage for Broadband category, Stephen McGee is now a freelance Multi Media producer after spending two years working for the Detroit Free Press.

    During 2002-2005 he photographed in 20 countries for non-profit organizations while continuing his education at the the Brooks Institute of Photography in Ventura, CA.

    Recently McGee has traveled to Uganda in an ongoing production of his first feature length film, co-producing it with Detroit Free Press' Brian Kaufman. The idea; how far the effects of one photograph can go focusing on Kim Phuc, the girl in the 1972 Pulitzer Prize winning photograph. McGee traveled with Phuc who, for the first time in her life, visited other burn victims face to face in burn clinics in the city of Kampala, Uganda.

    McGee lives a life dedicated to his faith and strives to further his passion of storytelling on a daily basis.

    He would like to thank Nancy Andrews, Brian Storm, and Nick Ut, for encouraging him in his trade and furthering his professionalism.

    "One picture will not define who you are as a person, but a lifetime of photographs will show the person you have become".
