Tim Hetherington UK 1970-2011
R: Timothy Alistair Hetherington 1970-2011
Some very tragic news surfaces today
as co-director of the Oscar-nominated documentary
Restrepo,
Tim Hetherington has been killed in Libya.
Hetherington was a war correspondent
and was with a team of other war photographers,
Chris Hondros and Guy Martin,
covering the conflict in Libya.
The group were in Misurata
which became besieged on Wednesday
and amid the violence Hetherington was killed.
Hondros and Martin
are in severe critical conditions
in hospital.
This is of course very unsettling,
The New York Times have said
that several hundred Libyan civilians
have been killed
in the Misurata area of
Libya.
Hetherington’s final tweet
shows the madness of the situation there:
In besieged Libyan city of Misrata.
Indiscriminate shelling by Qaddafi forces.
No sign of NATO.
Our thoughts and condolences
are with Tim Hetherington’s family
at this very sad
moment.

Beyond the Myth of the War Photographer
In “Shooting War,”
the psychiatrist Anthony Feinstein
explores the complexity
of photographers’ day-to-day work
covering conflict and human depravity.

Timothy Alistair Hetherington UK 1970-2011
The photographer
and film-maker
Tim
Hetherington
was killed at the age of 40
while covering
the escalating violence
in
Misrata,
Libya (...).
The canon of work he bequeaths
defines a generation of reportage.
His eye and ability
for capturing on film
some of the most disturbing events
of the past decade was as relentless
as it was unsurpassed.
With a great sense
of self-deprecation and humanity,
Hetherington
was driven
repeatedly
to explore the ragged, violent
margins of society
to bring back portraits of people
profoundly affected by conflict.
