Some Images from Boulat’s work in Kosovo:

Ethnic Albanian girls celebrate liberation by NATO troops, Kosovo, 1999                                     

Refugees flee fighting, Kosovo, 1999. In an interview with the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation, Boulat commented, “You can show war without showing a gun,
and that’s interesting, in just one photograph.”

The Pierre and Alexandra Boulat Grant: Call for entries

We will award a Grant to a photographer to produce a story that must be told but that
the photographer cannot find support for from within the Media.

The first Grant will be awarded at Visa pour L’Image in Perpignan 2008 as it was an event
very close to the hearts of Alexandra and Pierre Boulat.

The photographer should submit, no later than July Ist each calendar
year, a one page proposal with a portfolio of 20 pictures to prove
competency. A first committee would make a pre-selection in Paris and
the final decision should be made in Perpignan with a jury of 7 or 9
people chosen among the most important photo editors at Visa pour
L’image.
