Danfung Dennis graduated from Cornell University in 2004 with degrees in Applied Economics and Business Management. He consulted small and medium sized businesses in Uganda and South Africa to develop their business strategies. He started an independent photography business in Beijing, China in 2005 to provide images of breaking news in Asia to international news organizations.
In 2006, Danfung expanded coverage to the war in Afghanistan, diversifying his client base significantly. With this experience, Dennis then became a leading source of photojournalism of the war in Iraq in 2007 and 2008.
His work has been published in Newsweek, TIME, The New York Times, The Times, The Sunday Times, The International Herald Tribune, The Washington Post, USA Today, The Guardian, Rolling Stone, The Sunday Times Magazine, The New York Times Magazine, The Washington Post Magazine, Le Figaro Magazine, Financial Times Magazine, Mother Jones, L'Express, Der Spiegel and the Wall Street Journal.
In 2009, taking market forces and innovations in technology into consideration, Danfung repositioned and expanded into news footage and documentary film production. PBS's Frontline opened its fall 2009 feature, "Obama's War" using Danfung's footage. The visceral nature of the footage prompted a flurry of comment and inquiry from the Pentagon, the White House, veterans groups, and viewers. Other clients of news footage include ITV, BBC, and CBS.
Danfung is currently directing his first feature length documentary on the war in Afghanistan, HELL AND BACK AGAIN, with an expected release in 2011.
