Kevin Fleming has covered the world as a photographer for National Geographic.  Assignments have taken him into war and famine in Somalia, to the Mediterranean for a re-creation of the voyage of Ulysses and put him on a dogsled crossing the Canadian arctic.  He has worked in 28 countries photographing subjects as diverse as the sub-atomic world of high-energy physics and New Zealand sheep ranchers.  While reporting on the Sinai Peninsula in 1981, Kevin came under the assassins’ gunfire that killed Egyptian President Anwar Sadat.  He escaped with some of the few photographs of that tragic moment.

A Delaware native, Kevin began his career as a newspaper photographer after attending Wesley College (where he has been inducted into their Hall of Fame).  He then spent a decade as a National Geographic photographer and most recently has concentrated on creating books.   His photography has won many national and international awards.
