After college, Sinclair began working for the ''Chicago Tribune'', which sent her to cover the beginning of the war in Iraq. She later settled in Iraq and then in Beirut, Lebanon, covering the Middle East and South Asia for six years as a freelance photographer. Sinclair joined the VII Network upon its establishment in 2008, and became a full member of VII in 2009.〔 She first encountered child marriage in 2003 while working on a project about self-immolation in Afghanistan. “All the victims she met had been married very young, some only 9 years old, and to much older men.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://lejournaldelaphotographie.com/entries/8174/visa-pour-l-image-2012-stephanie-sinclair )〕 From 2003–2005 Sinclair photographed young Afghan women who had burned themselves. Most had been married between age 9 and 13. The result was her contribution to the 2010 Whitney Biennial exhibition, “Self-Immolation in Afghanistan: A Cry for Help.” The February 2010 issue of ''National Geographic'' included Sinclair's project on polygamy in America.〔 Pictures from the series were featured in The New York Times Magazine on July 27, 2008. Her photo series, “Child Brides,” examines “how children continue to be forced into marriage in more than 50 countries around the world.” The project was the result of eight years of work in Afghanistan, Nepal, Ethiopia, India, and Yemen.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bjp-online.com/british-journal-of-photography/news/2204702/stephanie-sinclair-wins-third-visa-dor-prize )〕 In 2012, Sinclair and Jessica Dimmock made a short documentary, “Too Young to Wed,” about an Ethopian girl married at age 11.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://tooyoungtowed.org/blog/tag/stephanie-sinclair/ )〕 In 2005, her work was featured on ''The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer'' in a segment called "Picturing Iraq."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://photography.nationalgeographic.com/photography/photographers/photographer-stephanie-sinclair/ )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stephanie Sinclair」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
