Yiannis Behrakis: Photographer of the year
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
This year the Guardian picture desk has chosen Yannis Behrakis of Reuters as the photographer of the year.
He has captured some of the most astonishing moments while covering the refugee crisis in Greece.
“The least challenging part of this year was taking pictures. The biggest struggle was the emotional involvement … it was so sad to see the same thing again and again. The emotional impact of covering the refugee crisis is devastating. I have suffered from insomnia and nightmares, and felt guilty many times for not being able to do more. I have refugee blood myself – and I am a father”, Behrakis stated.
