Award Winning Documentary Photographer

Why I am a Marauder

Growing up, I was always fascinated with photography, in particular, war photography. It has always been my personal belief as a documentary photographer that photography is a tool for positive social change.

This how I see Moore’s Marauders. It is truly an honor and humbling

Lauren and Nathan Addison

experience to be apart of a cause of this importance.

The Marauders gives me chance to serve my country and the families of MIAs. I can also be apart of solving some of the unanswered questions about WWII and the history of war. By answering these questions and being able to promote closure for the families of the missing, we are working towards a greater understanding and appreciation for human life. Hopefully we will all learn from the past and promote communication over war.
