Jeff Widener (born August 11, 1956) is an American photographer, best known for his image of the Tank Man confronting a column of tanks in Tiananmen Square in the aftermath of the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 which made him a nominated finalist for the 1990 Pulitzer, although he did not win.^[1]

Through the years, he has covered assignments in over 100 countries involving civil unrest and wars to social issues. He was the first photojournalist to file digital images from the South Pole. In 1987, he was hired as Associated Press Picture Editor for Southeast Asia where he covered major stories in the region from the Gulf War to the Olympics. Other assignments included East Timor, Afghanistan, Cambodia, Burma, Syria, Jordan, India, Laos, Vietnam, Pakistan and many more.

Widener is now based in Mexico City.

Background

Widener grew up in Southern California where he attended Reseda High School, Los Angeles Pierce College and Moorpark College majoring in photojournalism. In 1974 he received the Kodak Scholastic National Photography Scholarship, beating out 8,000 students from across the United States. The prize included a study tour of East Africa.

In 1978, Widener started as a newspaper photographer in California and later in Nevada and Indiana. At age 25, he accepted a position in Brussels, Belgium as a staff photographer with United Press International. His first foreign assignment was the Solidarity riots in Poland.

1989 Tiananmen Square protests

Widener was present in Beijing at the height of the Tiananmen Square protests, and described his experience in an interview with CBSN. In response to a question on when the protests started to become violent, Widener recalls a scene on the night of 3 June:

Interviewer: Could you, if you would, describe to us how those events unfolded 30 years ago? When did things take a turn and start to become violent?
Widener: Oh, wow, I would say that was on the night of June 3rd. I was with another AP reporter and we were riding our bicycles to, you know, just check out the scene, because it was relatively quiet, but things started getting heated when a burning armored car came down the street and people were throwing rocks, and I was attacked, [...] my camera was smashed, the lens was ripped off, it was bleeding everywhere, and I was just knocked silly, and finally once I got my head together, I went back to the AP office to bring the rolls of film, and the camera was so damaged they had to pry the film open [...]
Interviewer: Did you witness from where you were up there at that vantage point, did you witness some of the worst violence?
Widener: Well what I saw wasn't pretty, okay. There's a dead soldier on the ground where the burning armor car was, [...] another soldier came out to surrender and the mob moved in on him and started beating him with clubs and sticks, and I don't think he made it. I was attacked and somehow talked my way out of it and managed to get back to the AP office.

— CBSN^[3]

Tank Man

Widener was tasked to capture the scene of the Tiananmen crackdown on June 5, 1989. He had brought camera equipment and film to the hotel where he later took the photo, but was at the risk of being denied entry by security personnel. He was helped inside by Kirk Martsen. Widener eventually ran out of film, so he asked Martsen to try and find some. Martsen found John Flitcroft, an Australian backpacker in the hotel lobby, and asked him if he had any spare rolls of film, explaining that Widener had run out of film. John said he would give him the roll of film, if he could come up to the hotel room, which overlooked Tiananmen Square. It was this roll of film which Widener used to take the Tank Man photo. Martsen later borrowed Flitcroft's rented bicycle to deliver the photo film to the AP office at the Diplomatic Compound.^[4]

Prior to taking the picture, Widener was injured during the night event of June 3, 1989 after a stray rock hit him in the head during a mob scene on the Chang-An Boulevard. His Nikon F3 titanium camera absorbed the blow, saving his life.^[5]^[6]

The "Tank Picture", repeatedly circulated around the globe (except in China, where it is banned), is now widely held to be one of the most recognized photos ever taken. In November 2016, Time included the photograph by Jeff Widener in "Time 100: The Most Influential Images of All Time".^[7]

Awards

In addition to being named a finalist for the 1990 Pulitzer Prize in Spot News Photography, Widener has received multiple awards and citations from the Overseas Press Club, DART Award from Columbia University, Harry Chapin Media Award, Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism, the Scoop Award in France, Chia Sardina Award in Italy, National Headliner Award, New York Press Club, Pictures of the Year International, Best of Photojournalism, Atlanta Photojournalism, Belgian Press Photographers Association and the World Press in the Netherlands.^[8]
