Description

From the catastrophic upheavals of Arab Spring to the horrific war crimes against ethnic Albanians during the Kosovo War, internationally-acclaimed, Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Yannis Behrakis showed the world the best and the worst of humankind in turbulent times. For over three decades, Behrakis bore witness to the rubbles of destruction and chaos while never losing sight of humanity's dignity and integrity - never betraying the empathy that gave his work soul and gravity. Through the conflicts of 20th and 21st century that have defined a generation and indelibly shifted the course of history, Behrakis captured the resilience, beauty, and tenacity of the human spirit in times of trauma and chaos. With a camera in hand, he braved through war zones, cataclysms, and dangers - just Yannis, just one man and his determination to hold a mirror up to the world. Just Yannis pays tribute to the life and legacy of Yannis Behrakis through iconic photographs that have defined his career.
