Chris Hondros    USA    1970-2011

Chris Hondros died aged 41 from injuries

sustained in a grenade attack

by Libyan government forces in Misrata.

He was one of the world's

leading contemporary war photographers.

His dramatic images from conflicts in Kosovo,

Angola, Afghanistan, Iraq,

the West Bank and Libya

appeared regularly in Newsweek,

the New York Times,

the Los Angeles Times

and the Washington Post.

In 2004,

his dramatic reportage from Liberia

earned him a Pulitzer prize nomination.

He was awarded the Robert Capa gold medal

by the Overseas Press Club in 2005

for his "exceptional courage and enterprise"

while covering the Iraq war, and, in 2007,

American Photo magazine

named him "Hero of Photography".
