Algeria's Accidental War Photographer

Available for over a year

Zohra Bensemra was chosen by Britain's Guardian newspaper as the best photographer of 2017. Zohra is from Algeria, but her work has captured the conflict in Iraq, the fight against so-called Islamic State in Syria, and the drought in Somalia. However, it turns out that she hadn't planned to be a war photographer, or even a photographer, until Algeria was plunged into civil war.
