Photographer Alexandra Boulat and TIME Reporter Tim McGirk in the Mazlak Camp in Afghanistan
|
ALEXANDRA BOULAT, 38, has been taking pictures since she was 12 years old,
and comes from hardy photographic stock. Her father, Pierre Boulat, was a
LIFE staff photographer in Paris for 25 years, and her mother, Annie
Boulat, owns the photo agency Cosmos.
Alexandra spent much of the past 10 years covering the wars in the former
Yugoslavia for such publications as Paris-Match, TIME, Newsweek and
National Geographic. She has won several awards for her work on the daily
life and violence in Kosovo, including the Golden Visa Award at the
Perpignan photojournailism festival (France, 1998), the Infinity Award from
the International Center of Photography (New York, USA, 1999), and an
Alfred Eisenstadt Award for magazine photography (USA, 1999).
Alexandra just finished shooting a five-month assignment on Indonesia for
National Geographic. She lives in Paris, France.
TIM McGIRK, 48, has covered Afghanistan extensively over the past
decade, first as Delhi correspondent for The Independent, then as South Asia bureau chief
for TIME. He returns to Asia after a two-year posting as TIME's Latin America
bureau chief.
