AS I WAS DYING
PAOLO PELLEGRIN

Winner of the Leica European Publishers Award

As I was Dying brings together Paolo Pellegrin’s remarkable and moving images of human suffering within areas of conflict and war. Pellegrin captures both the horror and despair of war, and his photographs convey the powerlessness of those who are victim to it, as they witness the destruction of their homes and the death of their loved ones. These are forceful and unforgetable images that resonate in the memory and give voice to the unbearable suffering of so many people.

Born in Rome in 1964. Paolo Pellegrin joined Magnum Photos in 2001 and has been a Newsweek contract photographer since 2000. He has won numerous awards including the Eugene Smith Award, the Vis D'Or, World Press awards, the Hasselblad Grant, the Robert Capa Gold Medal and the Olivier Rebot Award. Paolo Pellegrin has published 5 previous books and has exhibted widely in Europe and the United States. He lives in Rome and New York.
