Hu?nh Công Út, known professionally as Nick Ut (born March 29, 1951) is a Vietnamese American photographer for the Associated Press (AP) who works out of Los Angeles.
He won both the 1973 Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography and the 1973 World Press Photo of the Year for "The Terror of War", depicting children in flight from a napalm bombing during the Vietnam War.
His best-known photo, it features a naked 9-year-old girl, Phan Th? Kim Phúc, running toward the camera from a South Vietnamese napalm strike that mistakenly hit Tr?ng Bà ng village instead of nearby North Vietnamese troops.
On the 40th anniversary of that Pulitzer Prize-winning photo in September 2012, Ut became the third person inducted by the Leica Hall of Fame for his contributions to photojournalism.
