Roger Moukarzel

Born in Beirut in 1962.

Roger Moukarzel's passion started with war photography at the age of 15 in a conflicted country and region. He worked in this field of photography for the next 15 years, his jobs with Sygma and Reuters allowed him to explore the region and world during these highly volatile times.

Roger's photo-documentaries were published around the world and in many international publications. The illustrious French magazine Paris Match has also chosen one of his pictures – a scene of destruction and mayhem in a Beirut street – to be featured on the cover page of its 40th anniversary book.

15 years in photojournalism took their toll and the shift to fashion photography was imminent.
