Freelance in a World At Risk

The Story In the decade plus that he's been covering international news and events and winning a series of prestigious photo awards, 35-year-old Ron Haviv has ignored every mother's maxim: whatever you do, stay out of harms way. In recording some of the most brutal events of the end of the 20th century, he has been put on a Serb death camp list, captured by Iraqi soldiers and Serb militiamen, charged with being a spy, interrogated, imprisoned, and beaten. It's not that he courts danger, but as a photojournalist covering the best and- more often- worst of times, he is thrust into life threatening situations. Ron Haviv has documented many of the post cold war hot spots, including the near civil war in Moscow, the Gulf War and the Balkans War. Depicting both the urgency and the tragedy of war, his work has became internationally known through pages of Time, Newsweek, Paris Match and Stern.
