Autor/a
Juan Carlos Tomasi
(Médicos Sin Fronteras)
(1959) Jurnalist and photographer. From Barcelona, born in Madrid.
His camera has portrayed a wide range of scenarios and historical moments around the world. From the displaced people of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda to the victims of the war in the Balkans, from numerous natural disasters to his humanitarian coverage of major epidemics, he has tried to find the other side of daily information: life stories that dignify and give prominence to the victims.
He began as a sports journalist and covered the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. But his career took a radical turn and he focused on conflict coverage and humanitarian journalism. He has been a producer and director for several international media.
Since 1995, he has been a photographer and reporter for the international humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders. Tomasi’s eye has contributed to bring to the public almost all the forgotten conflicts of the world in the last twenty-five years.
He has worked for media such as El País, La Vanguardia, El Periódico and The Independent. He also collaborates with other international aid organizations to disseminate the consequences of humanitarian disasters and climate change. He has published several books and has exhibited his work in many cities around the world, including Lisbon, London, Madrid, Casablanca, Athens, Rome, Moscow, Pristina, Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Bogota and Melbourne.
