After covering Central America in the mid 1980s he established his base in Asia. Living in New Delhi from 1988 to 1999, Nickelsberg recorded the rise of religious extremism in South Asia. His work has also encompassed Iraq, Kuwait, Vietnam, Cambodia, Burma, and Indonesia. Nickelsberg’s images have documented human rights abuses by Islamic militants and security forces, and post-traumatic stress disorder in Indian-controlled Kashmir. 

Nickelsberg has documented Afghanistan since 1988, when he accompanied a group of mujahideen crossing the border from Pakistan. Nickelsberg has one of the more comprehensive archives of the rise of Islamic extremism with mujahideen training camps in Pakistan, followed by the former Soviet Union's withdrawal from Afghanistan in 1988, including the mujahideen takeover in Kabul in 1992 with the 1996 takeover by the Taliban forces and post 9-11 occupation by US and NATO forces to the present day, 2016. His 2013 book, Afghanistan -- A Distant War, published by Prestel, captures his 25 years of work in Afghanistan. 

Nickelsberg was named the 2013 winner of the Overseas Press Club’s Olivier Rebbot Award for A Distant War given for the best photographic reporting from abroad in magazines and books. His images have appeared in publications and broadcasts that include TIME, The New York Times, Newsweek, the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, the Guardian, Paris Match, Stern, CNN, and NBC.
