Moises Saman won two Pulitzer Prizes in May, one for Feature Photography for coverage of post-Assad Syria and another for International Coverage as part of The New York Times team covering Sudan. Born in Peru and raised in the U.S., he began his photography career unexpectedly after being inspired by photographs of the Yugoslav Wars. Acknowledged for his extensive work in conflict zones, he continues to contribute to major publications and has received several prestigious awards.
"It's obviously profound and moving for me, but also somewhat uncomfortable. I wish the value given to those images was given to the lives of the people I photographed, but the world doesn't work that way."
"I arrived in Syria two days after the fall of the Assad regime. I found an exhausted country. There was a mixture of resignation and a lot of dignity."
