Yalda Moaiery, Photojournalist, known for war, protest, natural disaster, and conflict photographs

Within a few decades, photography largely replaced most older forms of portraiture, such as the silhouette, and, today, no one seems to particularly regret this loss. As much as I appreciate the mystery and beauty of old etchings and portraits, and even some current portraiture, I’d usually rather use my mobile phone camera than to try to paint everything by hand.
