Yuri Kozyev (Russian Federation), “FACES OF IRAQ” A native of Russia, Yuri Kozyrev graduated from Moscow State University School of Journalism in 1986. As a photojournalist for the past 21 years, he has covered every major conflict in the former Soviet Union, including two Chechen wars. Immediately after September 11, 2001, he was on the scene in Afghanistan, where he documented the fall of the Taliban. Kozyrev has spent much of the past 4 years based in Baghdad, as a contract photographer for TIME Magazine. He has traveled all over Iraq, photographing the different sides of the conflict. "It is in extreme situations that you get to see human nature and genuine human emotions in all their intensity, " says Kozyrev. Despite the immense difficulties and constant danger he faces covering this war, he continues to be inspired by the challenge. Yuri Kozyrev has received numerous honors for his photography, including the World Press Photo Award (four times) for pictures from Chechnya, Iraq and Beslan. He was the recipient of the Overseas Press Club Oliver Rebbot Award in 2004 for his Iraq coverage. In 2006, he was the recipient of the ICP Infinity award for photojournalism. 2008 Wade Goddard, New Zealand, Exhibition’s Curator and War Photo Dubrovnik Director, Place: War Photo Limited, Dubrovnik, www.warphotoltd.com RON HAVIV: BLOOD AND HONEY /Balkan, from the Turkish word Bal= honey Kan=blood “ Amid the numerous photographs of the conflict in Yugoslavia, Newsweek photographer Ron Haviv’s work stands out as a unique record of the conflict, from its beginnings in 1991 to its eventual end with the arrest of Slobodan Milosevic in 2001. From the front-line trenches to the refugees behind them, his images of poignant immediacy capture both the urgency and tragedy of war. The work is powerful testimony to the suffering of the Balkan people. The Hague War Crimes Tribunal, ICTY, has used a number of Haviv’s images to examine the past. Ron Haviv was the first of Western journalists to capture Serbian atrocities on film, photographs taken at the risk of his life and his dedication is considered outstanding for his long months and years spent on the ground to make the photographs in this extraordinary exhibit.” (From the catalogue of Ron Haviv’s Blood and Honey, editor: Wade Goddard, forward text: Alison Morley)
