Quoted: Luc Delahaye's work spans the world of journalism and art. As a war photographer, he has documented many conflicts around the world. At the same time, he started work on documentary portraiture and then engaged himself in a broader approach to documentary photography. In his latest projects, he took a long trip across Russia, examining the country's economic depression, and a four-month stay in the suburb of Toulouse, France. He now works on documentary photography in the fields of news and history.
