Luc Delahaye (born 1962) is a French photographer known for his large-scale color works depicting conflicts, world events or social issues.
His pictures are characterized by detachment, directness and rich details, a documentary approach which is however countered by dramatic intensity and a narrative structure.
[2] He worked during the 1980s and 1990s as a war photographer in Afghanistan, Rwanda, Bosnia, Israel/Palestine, the Gulf,[7] Chechnya,[8] and Lebanon.
His photography was characterized by its raw, direct recording of news and often combined a perilous closeness to events with an intellectual detachment in the questioning of his own presence.
[2] Documenting conflicts, political events or social issues, his pictures are made using large or medium format cameras, sometimes edited on computers and are shown in museums.
