Chris Hondros’ biography

Chris Hondros (Chris Hondros) The Associated Press reported that Hondros was scheduled to marry his girlfriend Cristina Piaia this summer.

Hondros’s works often appear in major magazines and newspapers around the world. He has won the Robert Capa Gold Medal, one of the highest awards for war photojournalists, and was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for Journalism.

Since the late 20th century, Hondros has been engaged in photographic reporting in many battlefields such as Kosovo, Sierra Leone, the West Bank, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Hondros’s focus on war is not just about visual curiosity on the battlefield. He specifically mentioned in his personal profile that his parents were both refugees and survivors of World War II. This may be the reason why he pays attention to the war. Like Hetherington, Hondros also studied English literature. He also worked as a photographer for two other media outlets before choosing a career as a war correspondent. According to a friend of Hondros, in order to raise funds for filming abroad, Hondros also worked as a part-time editor for the Associated Press at night. "He went there looking for his ideal, and I think he found it," the friend said.
