Jérôme Sessini: The Wrong Side

Jérôme Sessini (b.1968) began his career with the GAMMA agency following the Kosovo war in 1999. Since then he has covered many events: the second intifada, the conflict in Iraq, the Haitian crisis of 2004, the capture of Mogadishu and the Lebanon War. In 2008, he started his Mexican project, ‘So far from God, too close to America’, a dive into the drug cartels’ war in Mexico. This project has already been awarded twice with the F-Award and a Getty Images Grant for Editorial Photography. It is superbly presented here in scores of beautifully reproduced images.
