Shift in power: David Guttenfelder on the impact and importance of smartphone photography » FLTR: David Guttenfelder ended 2013 with the title Time Magazine’s Instagram Photographer of the Year. “The veteran photojournalist is a seven-time World Press Photo award-winner,” wrote Time’s senior editor Ishaan Tharoor. “He has traveled the world for the Associated Press, covering wars, elections and natural disasters in over 75 countries. But in 2013, Guttenfelder, the AP’s chief Asia photographer, won over a new audience after he became one of the first foreign photographers to be granted the ability to work in North Korea. And he featured some of his most striking, intimate pictures from the Hermit Kingdom on Instagram.”
