Faces of War

  • Photographer
    Tracey Shelton

This is a collection of portraits from the Middle East uprisings know as the Arab Springs. From rebel fighters, to victims, to prisoners these are the faces of anger, agony and desperation..

I have worked as a multimedia journalist in Australia, the Middle East and Asia covering conflict, politics and human rights violations since 2005. My articles, photographs and videos have been published globally, receiving 18 international awards. I reported exclusively on Gaddafi’s capture and death in Libya which sparked a UN inquiry, broke news of the Yazidi crisis in Iraq as Islamic State attacked, killed and kidnapped them and gained wide acclaim for my photography in war-torn Syria.
