This French Life: Remi Ochlik: I expected to see horrible things. Yes, I was afraid

Remi Ochlik: I expected to see horrible things. Yes, I was afraid

Remi Ochlik, 28, who has been killed in Homs alongside the veteran war reporter Marie Colvin, was an award-winning French photojournalist, considered one of the biggest talents of a new generation of photographer-reporters.
Last month he won a World Press Photo award for Battle for Libya, his series from the Libyan uprising.
Born in Lorraine in the east of France, Ochlik had always wanted to be a war photographer. He made his name aged 20, while still at photography college in Paris, when he went to Haiti in 2004 to document the riots and bloody conflict surrounding the fall of president Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
