His work spans a range of topics but over time has taken viewers to the frontlines of conflict, struggle, and intimacy.
In 2022, Yam won the Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography for images documenting the U.S. departure from Afghanistan that capture the human cost of the historic change in the country.
