Two internationally recognized photojournalists who have just returned from Africa and the Middle East will show their work at the Lopez Island’s Port Stanley School House, Wednesday, Jan. 11, 7 p.m.

Their photographs take the audience into the midst of unfolding stories and behind the scenes as well.

Trevor Snapp, who grew up on Lopez Island, has recently covered breaking stories in Egypt, Libya and Sudan.

He has a wealth of firsthand knowledge of evolving events in these regions, and his reporting has been featured in The Guardian, BBC.com, Time, Newsweek, and The New York Times. He also reports via radio and film. At the upcoming event, Snapp will announce details about his next project.

Benedicte Desrus covers breaking news for Reuters and has worked throughout Europe, East Africa, the U.S., and Latin America. She focuses on humanitarian and social issues and is concentrating on a long-term documentary project. Her work has been published in major media and she has earned numerous awards. She is represented by Sipa Press. The Lopez slide show will be the premiere screening of this work-in-progress.
