Rémi Ochlik (16 October 1983 – 22 February 2012) was a French photojournalist who was known for his photographs of war and conflict in Haiti and the Arab Spring revolutions.

Ochlik died in the February 2012 bombardment of Homs during the Syrian uprising along with veteran war correspondent Marie Colvin.

[2] Rémi Ochlik was born in 1983 in Thionville and lived in the area around Florange, Moselle, in the Lorraine region of northeastern France.

[4] For IP3, Ochlik covered the French presidential campaign of 2007, photographing François Bayrou, Ségolène Royal and Nicolas Sarkozy amongst others.

His photographs of the riot scenes won the François Chalais Award for Young Reporters and was projected at the Visa pour l’Image International Photojournalism Festival.

In 2011, Ochlik's three pictures of the Arab Spring, "The Fall of Tripoli", "Egypt Tahrir Square" and "The Jasmine Revolution" received the Grand Prix Jean-Louis Calderon and he also won the first prize in the 2012 World Press Photo contest for his photograph of a Libyan rebel fighter.

[4][5] Guillaume Clavières, senior photo editor at Paris Match said of him:Rémi is one of the most talented young photographers of his generation.

He and fellow journalist Marie Colvin were killed in the Baba Amr area of Homs during heavy shelling when a rocket struck the house they were using as their media centre.

[1] Photojournalist William Daniels was able to recover photographs from Rémi Ochlik's camera that was found in the ruins of the rocket attack.

[16] Guillaume Clavières, senior photo editor with Paris Match, quoted over two months before Ochlik was killed:Rémi is one of the most talented young photographers of his generation.

[4]François Hollande, who was then the Socialist party presidential candidate in France:This death touches me even more because Rémi Ochlik was accredited to [cover] my campaign and was among us a few days ago.

[17] Karim Ben Khelifa, a friend, photojournalist and curator for Ochlik's posthumous book Revolutions:Art is something that is perceived by the others.

[12] Stan Trecker, dean of The Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University:His courage and intelligence resulted in compelling documentation of his experience during the Arab Spring.

The photographs portray the complexities of the political and social realities for those living in the Middle East, most especially Egypt, Libya, and Syria.

The published, printed poem (a variation on her reading on BBC) also references L'amour est dans le pré (the French version of Farmer Wants a Wife), Dexter (TV series), and Harry Potter.

At the end of her printed poem, Blachère acknowledges another fallen journalist and a colleague and friend of Ochlik, Lucas Dolega.
