Leif Skoogfors

He was born in Wilmington, Delaware, one month after his family, including brothers Olaf and Eric, fled Sweden as World War II broke out.

His book on the war in Northern Ireland, "The Most Natural Thing in the World,[1]" was published by Harper & Row in New York and London in 1974.

[2] Rudolf Arnheim commented on the work that "The photographs … combine documentary impact with a pictorial originality and beauty that is always strictly at the service of the subject, its meaning and mood."

[3] His work has also appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Paris Match, National Geographic and publications in more than forty countries.

He has actively been involved in copyright protection for photographers and was a plaintiff in an action against Google,[6][7] and has assisted journalists facing potential issues with post-traumatic stress injuries.
