In 2010 he retraced his steps from 2005 to find out what has happened to the women and children he met.

Danziger was awarded an Honorary Fellowship of The Royal Photographic Society in 2007.

He appeared on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs on 16 March 2003.

In March 2003, Nick Danziger and Peter Stothard began a 30-day study of a Prime Minister at war, with access to Tony Blair's "inner circle" as he confronted an angry nation and deployed British forces against Iraq.

Eleven Women Facing War tells eleven stories of women from Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Colombia, the Balkans, Israel and the Palestinian Territories. Danziger initially photographed these women in conflict zones for an International Committee of the Red Cross study in 2001. Ten years later, he set out to find each one to learn what had become of their lives.

In 2000, the United Nations' eight Millennium Development Goals were put in place to achieve universal primary education, reduce child mortality and improve maternal health.

Danziger created a photographic documentary in black-and-white images. From the halls of Westminster to inner-city communities beset by crime and unemployment, the exhibition depicted both the traditions and reality of life in Great Britain in the 1990s for a range of social classes.

In 1982 he received a Churchill Fellowship which enabled him to spend 18 months on the ancient Silk Route from Turkey to China, disguised as a local traveller, taking photographs which resulted in his book Danziger's Travels. Danziger has since travelled the world taking photographs and making documentary films. Most of his work is based on people living in difficult circumstances, particularly young people. His photographs have appeared in newspapers and magazines worldwide, toured museums and galleries internationally, and are held in numerous museum collections.
