Kaslow has covered post-conflict areas in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Central and South America. Her acclaimed photos in The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Huffington Post and Slate, among other publications, have helped bring world events into the homes of many in the United States and beyond.
