Tim Hetherington 1970 – 2011

(30.05.11) || Tags: PANOS, Hetherington Tim

Tim Hetherington, photographe britannique de l'agence Panos, a été tué le 20 avril 2011 à Misrata en Libye. Chris Hondros de l'agence Getty a également péri dans l'attaque.
Tim, 41 ans, avait couvert de nombreux conflits au cours des dix dernières années. Il avait remporté le World Press Photo Award en 2007 pour ses photos des soldats américains en Afghanistan. Ce travail avait servi de base au documentaire Restrepo, qui avait été nommé aux Oscars.

REA s'associe à la douleur de l'agence Panos, de la famille de Tim et de ses amis.

Communiqué de Panos : "All of us at Panos Pictures are deeply saddened to hear that our photographer Tim Hetherington was killed earlier today in an RPG attack in Misratra, Libya. Guy Martin, a close friend of Panos Pictures, was also severely injured in the attack and we are praying that he will make a full recovery and rejoin his family safely. Tim will be dearly missed as an irreplaceable friend and contributor to our agency since the earliest days. He combined a fierce intelligence with a deeply creative approach to photography and filmmaking that marked him apart from his peers. He knew what path he wanted to follow, his work was direct and purposeful and stood as an example to many of his proteges. We are still trying to come to terms with how someone so full of life could be stopped so cruelly in his tracks. Our thoughts are with his family and friends
