Career

Yuri Kozurev was born in Moscow in 1963. He graduated from the MSU Faculty of Journalism and became a professional photographer in 1986.[3] As a war photojournalist since 1994,[4] Kozyrev has covered every major conflict in the former Soviet Union, including two Chechen wars. Immediately after September 11, 2001, he was on the scene in Afghanistan, where he documented the fall of the Taliban.

Kozyrev lived in Baghdad, Iraq, between 2003 and 2009, as a contract photographer for TIME Magazine. He has traveled all over Iraq, photographing the different sides of the conflict. Since the beginning of 2011, he has been following the Arab unrests, traveling in Egypt, Bahrain, Libya and Yemen.

Yuri Kozyrev has received numerous honors for his photography, including several World Press Photo Award for pictures from Chechnya, Iraq, Beslan, Libya. He was the recipient of the Overseas Press Club Oliver Rebbot Award in 2004 for his Iraq coverage. In 2006, he was the recipient of the ICP Infinity award for photojournalism and he won the 2008 Frontline Club Award for his extensive coverage of the Iraq war.

In 2011, Yuri won the Visa d'or News for his body of work: "On Revolution Road". Since February, Yuri traveled to Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen and Libya to cover the Arab revolts for Time magazine. With this prize, organized by the international festival of photojournalism Visa Pour l'Image, some of the most renowned international picture editors acknowledged the best report published between September 2010 and August 2011.
