Bill Foley is a Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist who has been capturing events on the world stage for more than 20 years. Foley has lived and worked in 47 countries, covering a variety of subjects for a diversity of projects both large-scale and small. He is highly regarded for his ability to capture the emotion and intimacy of a moment whether it's in his professional work or as the designated family photographer at home.

Foley earned his bachelor's degree in telecommunications at Indiana University and promptly packed off to see the rest of the world - through the prism of his own life experiences and emotions and the viewfinder of a camera.

Foley began his career photographing major stories for the Associated Press, including the Camp David Peace negotiations, the assassination of Anwar Sadat, the Israeli invasion of Lebanon and the bombings of the US Embassy and Marine barracks. Foley's photographs of the 1982 massacre of more than 900 unarmed civilians at the Sabra and Chatilla Palestinian refugee camps earned him the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography.

Foley's work has been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world, from Cairo and Beirut to Indianapolis and New York City. Also his work has been published in virtually every major volume around the world, and is included in numerous publications on photojournalism.

In addition to his work for corporate clients, non-profits such as Save the Children and Children's Aid Society and his editorial work, Foley is an adjunct Professor at New York University in the Tisch School of the Arts.
