Photojournalist — forty-three Newsweek covers
On the record
Peter Turnley was born in Fort Wayne on June 22, 1955, the identical twin of David Turnley, and shared his brother's McClellan Street beginnings: the twins grew up on that street and, at seventeen, spent more than a year photographing it; the project was published as McClellan Street in 2007. He graduated from the University of Michigan in 1977 and moved to Paris in 1978. As a contract photographer for Newsweek from 1984 to 2001 he produced forty-three cover photographs, covering the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Gulf War, and conflicts around the world; he has also been a contributing editor and photographer for Harper's Magazine. His books include Parisians, a portrait of the city he has called home for decades.
