Ron Haviv is an Emmy nominated, award-winning photojournalist and co-founder of the photo agency VII, dedicated to documenting conflict and raising awareness about human rights issues around the globe. In the last three decades, Haviv has covered more than twenty five conflicts and worked in over one hundred countries. He has published three critically acclaimed collections of photography, and his work has been featured in numerous museums and galleries, including the Louvre, the United Nations, and the Council on Foreign Relations. Haven’s photographs are in the collections at The Houston Museum of Fine Arts and George Eastman House, among others, as well as numerous private collections.

Bush citied Haviv’s chilling photographs documenting paramilitary violence in Panama as one of the reasons for the American interv
Ron is a legend, one of the best there is. He is a photographer who often works in conflict zones. Going to these exceedingly dangerous places, he masterfully makes amazingly powerful photographs under very tense circumstances, some of which have been influential enough to actually move the political dialogue around a conflict. His goal is to create impact, not just with his images, but also through the schools he helps create. Impact, in its various forms, sounds like a pretty good goal for all of us. When I met Ron this past summer at the Monacle conference in Madrid, what struck me was that he was the least judgemental listener I had ever encountered. Most people have an obvious internal conversation running while listening; he didn’t seem to. As I thought about it, if one were in a tent with an AK47s-carrying gang, a seeming lack of judgment would go a long way towards increasing one’s life expectancy. Conflict photographers are a whole other animal than most of the photographers I know. We are sheltered. We work in studios, with nice lunches and are surrounded by highly-skilled aesthetes making beautiful imag

BIOGRAPHY
Ron Haviv, Conflict Photographer, Filmmaker, Educator
Charting the history of each image, from its initial dissemination in journalism, to its reappearances (as artwork, as propaganda, in cultural kitsch, in social media, at international war crimes trials) as well as its institutionalized disappearances (from history books, from school systems, from codified public memory), Biography of a Photo explores the photos’ changing meanings over time for the broad populations in Panama and Bosnia. Both images have had enormous regional impact. And despite official attempts at suppression, both are among the most widely known images in Latin America and the Balkans, respectively. See trailer here.
For each image, the film follows a specific character who was intimately affected by the events of the day the photo was taken: the brother of the bodygua
