David Guttenfelder in North Korea
Even before the Associated Press announced its new bureau in Pyongyang, David Guttenfelder’s photographs gave the Western world a glimpse into North Korea. Notoriously secretive and isolated, the nation granted Guttenfelder, AP’s Chief Asia Photographer, rare access to some events in the country. Now, with AP’s new bureau and his trips becoming more frequent, Guttenfelder’s photos are offering a closer look at daily life in the country.
Below is a selection of photos from 2008 to 2012.

The threat came amid reports that North Korean leader Kim Jong Il suffered a stroke, adding to fears of instability in the region. (AP Photo/David Guttenfelder)
