Taylor Stevensonson: Zohra Bensemra

Zohra Bensemera is an Algerian photographer whose work focuses in the Middle East and North America. Bensemera is a photojournalist she has covered world issues including the conflict in 2000 between the Albanians and there Serbs. Then in 2003 she covered conflicts in Irag. Most recently she has been working on the coverage of the referenda in Sudan, the Tunisian uprising and the revolution in Libya.

As I flipped through Bensemeras work it was interesting to see how her interest in the area and how socially aware she is. I admire her ability to capture these moments and her going to the very limit to get her photo.  Knowing she needed to submerse herself into the culture she was photographing, or the subjects wouldn't let her capture these intimate scenes.
