A Guide to the David Hume Kennerly Photographic Archive,
1966-
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.

Mr. Kennerly is at work on a long-term
project to digitize his vast archive of images currently existing in
transparent formats (positive and negative film). When completed, these
materials will be accessible on CD. Until then, a limited number of
photographic prints may be viewed at the Center for research purposes. For
photographic reproductions, please contact Mr. Kennerly at
www.kennerly.com.
