His work has been exhibited at the Tate Modern in London, the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation in Paris, the International Center of Photography and the United Nations in New York, the MAPFRE Foundation in Madrid, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow. It has garnered him the International Henri Cartier-Bresson Grand Prize, the Infinity Award from the International Center of Photography, the Prix d’Aries, and the Leica Medal of Excellence. He has received fellowships from the Fulbright Foundation and the National Endowment of the Arts and, in 2005, he was named a MacArthur Fellow.
