Yannis Behrakis, one of Reuters' most decorated and best-loved photographers, has died after a long battle with cancer. He was 58.
After joining the news wire 30 years ago,
Behrakis covered many of the most
tumultuous events around the world, including conflicts in
Afghanistan and Chechnya, a huge earthquake in Kashmir and the
Egyptian uprising of 2011.
Both
his skills as a photographer and his bravery won him
widespread respect. He also led a team to a Pulitzer Prize in 2016
for coverage of the refugee crisis. Colleagues who worked with him in
the field said Reuters had lost a talented and committed journalist.
