Images produced by a Turkish photographer working
with leading news agency AFP have been selected as among the world’s best.
Bülent Kılıç picked up awards from Time Magazine and The Guardian newspaper for
his photographs during various crises in Turkey and the region in 2014.
Kılıç, like many others in his profession, risk
all to capture the incredible shots from hot spots around the world. Among his
most re-produced shots from 2014 were of the Ukraine
conflict, the clashes between the public and Turkish police during the funeral
procession for Gezi
Park victim Berkin Elvan,
the Soma Mining Disaster, the Syrian refugee and Kobani crises, and scenes from
the wreckage of the MH17 air crash.
In December, 35-year-old Kılıç was awarded Best Wire Photographer of 2014 by Time
Magazine. Among his most striking shots was one of a father kissing his son rescued
from Turkey ’s
worst mining disaster which killed 301 miners in May. The magazine’s Olivier
Laurent said, “Amidst a turbulent year,
Bulent Kilic's photographs have consistently grabbed the attention of editors
and viewers around the world.”
