I have been working as a photojournalist for over two decades. First settled in Jerusalem, covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict during the first intifada. Straying from my daily trips to the Gaza strip, I flew to Somalia during the 1992 great famine. After a two-year stretch in Hong Kong for Agence France-Presse (AFP) in the lead up to the handover of the territory to China, I was sent to Jakarta where riots erupted in the aftermath of the 1997 economic crisis. From there I also witnessed the birth of a new country: East Timor. In 2002 I was awarded the John Knight Fellowship for Journalists at Stanford University. I am now based in Paris and continue to work as a writer and a photographer both for corporate and news events. I am currently training at documentary filmmaking. Education: Masters from Columbia Journalism University Graduate School of Journalism. Masters of Neurobiology from the University of Paris

The French government is constructing an 8.2-foot-high, bulletproof glass enclosure around the base of the Eiffel Tower to protect the iconic structure from a terrorist attack. But many French are offended by what they describe as a tasteless design that will be an eyesore.

As US-led coalition warplanes bombard northern Iraq and Syria, Belgian and French parents of children who have joined the Islamic State are in agony. "The families would be very happy to see the destruction of the Islamic State because their children would no longer be under its influence. But at the same time, it's their children who are being targeted."

Coffee at Trump Tower
Donald Trump’s victory was supposed to help far-right leader and presidential candidate Marine Le Pen. But so far, there’s been no bounce in her poll ratings, and her relationship with the new White House is murky at best.
