David Hume Kennerly began his professional career in 1966 as a 
photographer for the Oregon Journal. After joining United Press 
International in 1967, Kennerly worked in Los Angeles (1967-1968), New 
York (1968-1969), and Washington, D.C. (1969-1970). In 1971, UPI sent 
Kennerly to South Vietnam, where in 1972 he won a Pulitzer Prize for his 
feature photography of the Vietnam War. Kennerly also received the 
Wilson Hicks Award for excellence in reporting with a camera, first 
prize in the World Press Photo Contest for his coverage of Cambodia, and 
the Overseas Press Club's Olivier Rebbot Award for his inside story of 
the Reagan/Gorbachev Summit in Geneva.

 From 1972 until 1974, Kennerly worked as a contract photographer for 
Time magazine. In August 1974, President Gerald R. Ford invited Kennerly 
to serve as his personal photographer. As Family Week later reported, 
the Pulitzer Prize winner accepted the job only on the condition that he 
have "the freedom to walk in and out of the President's office at will 
to take whatever pictures he felt were part of history." As a result, 
Kennerly's pictures from his three years in the White House have an 
immediacy rarely matched by the work of previous official presidential 
photographers.

>From the 1970s through the 1990s Kennerly worked as a photographer for 
Time (1973-1974, 1977-1990), Life (1972, 1993-1996), and George 
(1996-1999) magazines, and as a writer and television producer/director. 
Shooter, his autobiography, was published in 1979, followed by Photo Op: 
A Pulitzer Prize Winning Photographer Covers Events that Shaped Our 
Times (1995) and Photo du Jour: A Picture-A-Day Journey through the 
First Year of the New Millennium (2002). The Center for American History 
has presented photographic exhibitions based on the latter two 
publications. Kennerly's television productions include Shooter (1987) 
and The Taking of Flight 847 - The Uli Derickson Story (1988), the 
latter the recipient of an Emmy award nomination. He is currently a 
contributing editor to Newsweek magazine.
