Nuccio DiNuzzo is an award-winning multimedia journalist. For nearly three decades he has covered news, sports and features for the Chicago Tribune, at home and abroad, including the tsunami in Sri Lanka and Indonesia in which thousands of people were killed. He was also an embedded photojournalist during the invasion of Iraq by the armed forces in 2003, living and working out of a U.S. Army Humvee for six weeks with a reporter and two armed servicemen.

The Italian-born photographer moved to Chicago at the age of 17, where he received a bachelor’s degree in photo, film & video from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

A passionate advocate for documentary photography, DiNuzzo has a natural ability to make his subjects feel comfortable in front of the camera. His photo of an O’Hare protest of President Trump’s travel ban, showing Jewish and Muslim children, went viral and it touched hearts all over the world.
