Horst FaasFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Horst Faas(28 April 1933– 10 May 2012) was aGermanphoto-journalistand two-timePulitzer Prizewinner. He is best known for his images of theVietnam War.[

Life

Born in Berlin, Germany, Faas began his photographic career in 1951 with the Keystone Agency, and by the age of 21 he was already covering major events concerningIndochina, including thepeace negotiations in Geneva in 1954. In 1956 he joined theAssociated Press(AP), where he acquired a reputation for being an unflinching hard-newswar photographer, covering the wars in Vietnam and Laos, as well as in the Congo and Algeria. In 1962, he became AP\'s chief photographer for Southeast Asia, and was based in Saigon until 1974. His images of the Vietnam War won him aPulitzer Prize in 1965. In 1967 he was severely wounded in the legs by arocket-propelled grenade. In 1972, he collected a secondPulitzer, for his coverage of theconflict in Bangladesh. Inside Bangladesh, photographerRashid Talukderconsidered it too dangerous to publish his photographs and he released them more than twenty years after Horst\'s photographs had appeared.[2]

Faas is also famed for his work as a picture editor, and was instrumental in ensuring the publication of two of the most famous images of the Vietnam War. The notorious \"Saigon Execution\" photograph, showing the summary execution of a Viet Cong prisoner by Saigon police chiefNguyễn Ngọc Loan, taken byEddie Adamsin Saigon on February 1, 1968 was sent under his direction.Nick Ut\'s famous \"Napalm Girl\" photograph caused a huge controversy over at the AP bureau; an editor had objected to the photo, saying that the girl depicted was naked and that nobody would accept it. Faas ordered that Ut\'s photo be sent over the wire.

In September 1990, freelance photographerGreg Marinovichsubmitted a series of graphic photos of a crowd executing a man to the AP bureau inJohannesburg. Once again, AP editors were uncertain if the photos should be sent over the wire. One editor sent the images to Faas, who telegrammed back, \"send all photos.\"[3]

In 1976, Faas moved to London as AP\'s senior photo editor for Europe; he retired in 2004. In retirement he organised reunions of the wartime Saigon press corps and ran international photojournalism symposiums.

He produced four books on his career and other news photographers, includingRequiem, a book about photographers killed on both sides of the Vietnam War, co-edited with fellow Vietnam War photojournalistTim Page.[4]
