Gary Knight

Gary Knight began working as a photographer in the mid 1980s in South East Asia and Indochina embarking on a portrayal of the internecine warfare in a region coming to terms with the end of the Cold War. In January 1993 he moved to the former Yugoslavia where he became involved in documenting war crimes and crimes against humanity, the core theme of his work to this day. Gary Knight concerns himself primarily with human rights concerns and issues of crime and justice. His work has been widely published by Magazines all over the world and he has contributed work to several books. He occasionally lectures and is the author of several essays on journalism and photography. He is a founding member of VII Photo Agency created in September 2001. He is a contract photographer for Newsweek Magazine and a trustee of the Indochina Media Memorial Foundation. With writer Anthony Lloyd, he made the book "Evidence – War Crimes in Kosovo" which deals with the violations and breaches of Geneva Conventions. "Evidence – War Crimes in Kosovo" is an interpretation of the "Indictment of Milosevic et al" published by the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia (ICTY) during the NATO bombing campaign in Kosovo during 1999.
