Michel Bührer

Michel Bührer was born in Switzerland in 1951, where he is based. Free lance photographer and journalist since the 70's, he has covered stories in Africa, Middle East, Asia, the USA and in most of Europe. His focus has mainly been on social, political and human rights issues. As a writer and a photographer, he is very interested in the interaction between photos and texts, as in "Rwanda, mémoire d'un génocide" (portraits and testimonies of survivors of the genocide) and in "Portraits en Palestine" (portraits with captions of Palestinians and Israelis in West Bank and Gaza). He writes in French. You can learn more about his work by visiting www.mbuhrer.ch
