Palmer is a Peabody award–winning journalist based in Richmond, Virginia. During his 30-year career he has photographed conflict, politics, activism, daily life, and more around the world. His strength is capturing life candidly, clearly, and creatively. Palmer strives to tell stories in pictures about people and situations that might not otherwise be told, with integrity, professionalism, independence, passion, and compassion. Palmer’s photos have appeared in the New York Times, BuzzFeed, Narrative.ly; his writing in Smithsonian Magazine, the New York Times, and the Nation; and Audio on Reveal. Palmer’s documentary, full disclosure, which appeared in 2011 on the documentary channel, along with several magazine articles and photo exhibitions, grew out of three media embeds in Iraq with US marines. In 2019, along with his collaborator, Seth Wessler, palmer received a Peabody Award for the Reveal radio story "Monumental Lies.” Before going freelance in 2002, Palmer was a CNN correspondent. Prior to that, he was Beijing Bureau Chief for US News & World Report, during which time he photographed for many of his articles. Palmer collaborated with his wife, Erin Hollaway Palmer, on the documentary make the ground talk WHICH evokes life in a historic black community that was uprooted during World War II to build a naval base, now a top-secret US military installation. Palmer’s on-going project, photography of Virginia’s neglected African American cemeteries, grew out of the documentary.
