Yannis Behrakis
Yannis Behrakis, the 2016 Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist of international renown, is Senior Editor, Special Projects for the Reuters photo agency.
His exhibition at the SNFCC reflects on his recent work concerning the trek of refugees fleeing their homeland in search of a better life. His lens captures faces, scenes of transit or rest, in-between stops and other snapshots from the painful and often endless journey of refugees.
These images, now hosted by the SNFCC, provoke a range of emotions and thoughts to the viewer. As we take a closer look at Behrakis’ photographs, we realize that the crisis we are experiencing today is predominately humanitarian, and one that Behrakis records in a unique manner.
