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

Angola, Afghanistan, Iraq,

the West Bank and Libya

appeared regularly in Newsweek,

In 2004,

his dramatic reportage from Liberia

earned him a Pulitzer prize nomination.

while covering the Iraq war, and, in 2007,

American Photo magazine

named him "Hero of Photography".
