Carol Guzy has won numerous awards, including four Pulitzers, for her work on disasters, wars, conflicts, and all kinds of situations, in which she has photographed the consequences suffered by innocent people.

Biografia
Guzy was born into a working family in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. She received her nursing degree from Northampton Community College in 1977, but later turned to photography and studied at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale in Florida. After graduating in 1980 and after several internships, she began working at the Miami Herald and later at the Washington Post.
In 1986 she won her first Pulitzer for the photos of the catastrophe caused in Colombia by the eruption of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano. She was the first woman to win this award in this category.
In 1989 she won the National Press Photographers Association's Newspaper Photographer of the Year award and a year later became the first woman to be named Photographer of the Year in the prestigious annual Picture of the Year competition.
In the first half of the 1990s, Guzy worked in many different countries and photographed, for example, the breakup of the Soviet Union and the fall of totalitarian regimes in different republics, post-war Somalia, or the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Andrew in Florida. The resulting portfolio earned her the top prize for Picture of the Year in 1993 out of 1,500 entries.
Her second Pulitzer came in 1995 for her reporting on the US military intervention in Haiti, and her third in 2000 for her work on refugees from Kosovo. She won the fourth and final Pulitzer Prize in 2011 for her work on the earthquake that struck Haiti in 2010.
According to herself, no matter how hard her work is, her job is to tell what is happening. For this, she considers that the fact of being a woman is an advantage, because the people photographed feel less intimidated and open up more.
