Erin Trieb

Some countries Trieb has visited for her photojournalism include Israel, Syria, Palestine, Iraq, Bosnia, and Turkey.

Director of Photography at NBC News James Collins described Trieb as "a visually creative person but also as a solid journalist.

[4] Trieb spent six days photographing an all female branch of the Kurdish military, the Women's Protection Units (YPJ).

[7] She notes that the hardest part of this project was not the shootouts, the landmines, or the fact that she was the only woman in sight (a commonality that is starting to be brought to the surface), it was seeing the effect war has on these people.

[8] Trieb's website describes the Homecoming project displaying "the trauma, loss, courage, and struggle so many service members experience after exiting the battlefield.

[12] Trieb is an avid advocate for gender and ethnicity diversification in photojournalism, saying "Minorities, especially women and people of color, have a unique perspective and voice that needs to be seen and heard.
