Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor InformationPhilip Flip Holsinger is an American photojournalist and writer reporting in the immersive style of Tom Wolfe's New Journalism. He has lived and worked in some of the world's most notorious regions recording the intimate lives of people and nations. His assignments have included documentation of the aftermath of genocide in Bosnia, the war on drugs in southeast Asia, and the plight of fringe peoples such as Nicaragua's Miskito Indians once at the heart of the Iran-Contra rebel controversy. In the process, Flip has lived with Buddhist monks in Thailand, rebel soldiers in the jungle of Nicaragua, the warlords in Cite Soleil, Haiti, and nomadic shepherds in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia (where he was fired upon by rebel snipers). Holsinger served as a private contractor for the Haitian Primature from April 2013 to September 2014, documenting the social and ethnographic effects of the government's national development projects. Holsinger's works appear mostly in immersive, mixed-media installations, original books, and private contract reporting. His work has been featured in major publications and broadcasts, including CNN, NBC Nightly News, The New York Times, Cincinnati Enquirer, and National Geographic Online. His contracts have included The United Nations, The Republic of Haiti, The Republic of Kosovo, and the U.S. Senate. He has also authored three books of photojournalism and two collections of poetry: The Hands of the Prime Minister: Foreword by Sean Penn (2021); A Tourist of Saints: Afterword by Petra Nemcova (2014); Unembraced: Photographic Dispatches (2010); Five Poems for My Mother and Father (2020); and Winter Fragments: Selected Poems (2014). In 2017, Holsinger was hired to turn his lens toward his home country on a pro bono public service initiative called We Are Nashville (wearenashville.com), designed to capture and highlight the city's true character and its most intimate human stories. After three years on the assignment, the work has received numerous local, regional and national awards, including one for Flip himself as the 2021 Art Director of the Year.
