Testament Hardcover - 2014

by Chris Hondros; Alexandra Ciric (Editor); Francisco P. Bernasconi (Editor)

From the publisher

Chris Hondros (March 14, 1970—April 20, 2011) was an American Pulitzer Prize-nominated photojournalist. Born in New York City to Greek and German immigrants, both survivors of World War II, he moved to Fayetteville, North Carolina, as a child. After studying English literature at North Carolina State University and receiving a master's degree from Ohio University's School of Visual Communication, Hondros returned to New York to concentrate on international reporting.

Hondros covered most of the world's major conflicts and disasters since the late 1990s, including work in Kosovo, Afghanistan, the West Bank, Iraq, Liberia, Egypt, and Libya. Hondros was also a frequent lecturer and published essayist on issues of war, and he regularly wrote for the Virginia Quarterly Review, Editor & Publisher, the Digital Journalist, and other news publications.

Hondros, a staff photographer for Getty Images since 2000, was a two-time finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in breaking news photography: in 2004, for his work in Liberia, and posthumously in 2012, for his coverage of the Arab Spring. During his career, he received dozens of awards, among them honors from World Press Photo, the Pictures of the Year International competition, Visa pour l'Image, and the Overseas Press Club, including the John Faber Award for his work in Liberia and the Robert Capa Gold Medal, war photography's highest honor, for his work covering the conflict in Iraq.

Media reviews

"Hondros' photos stood out for his ability to capture moments of clarity in tense, difficult situations. Not just dangerous situations, with bullets and mortars and shrapnel flying all around, but emotional ones."
-Mother Jones

"Ultimately, Chris's voice became the inspiration, subtext and force behindd 'Testament.'"
-New York Times, Lens

"Testament, the new collection of images and writings by late photojournalist Chris Hondros, is a labor of love by many people who were close to him."
-Photo District News

"A fearless photojournalist who covered conflict across the globe, Hondros made images that he believed could change the worls, a claim that's hard to argue when faced with his intense and piercing images."
-TIME Magazine's LightBox

"Chris Hondros, one of the most accomplished war photographers of his generation, was fatally wounded three years ago while in Libya. A new book, “Testament,” showcases Hondros’ finest work from some of the world’s most dangerous conflicts over the years."
-CNN Phots

"It underscores that sometimes the most important thing you can do as a journalist is be a witness for the world — and that’s what Hondros died doing."
-Yahoo

"...one of the most gifted photojournalists of the 21st century. His most powerful work has now been collected in Testament"
-Rolling Stone
