Olivier Voisin -the victims of Syrian war

 

The war photographer Olivier Voisin, who was only 38 years old when he was killed in Hamah, Syria, earlier this year, during clashes between Assad's troops and the Free Syrian Army. In the photographs, sent to IJF13 a few days before being mortally wounded, Olivier captures the images of the victims of war - combatants and civilians together because in conflict there are no differences - moments of tranquility amid one fight and another, as they gather things, refugees, escapes, rebels who crouch finding shelter from the fighting or while studying the ruins of the city in search for snipers. It is war in its essential elements.
Olivier Voisin (died 24 February 2013) was a French photographer. In recent years he worked  in Brazil, Haiti, Kenya, Libya, Somalia and in 2012 he covered in particular the Syrian uprising. His photos have been published in Le Monde, Libération, L’Express, Paris Match, The Guardian and Le Soir.
