Everybody liked Tom Stoddart, even other photographers! Especially other photographers.
Tom was the photographer’s photographer.
His pictures from conflicts, catastrophes and humanitarian crises around the world spoke for themselves; with a compassionate eye and a click, Tom captured the moment that told the story. His pictures were technically brilliant, emotionally charged and worth at least the thousand words reporters wrote to accompany them.
His images from Sarajevo, the Berlin Wall, Iraq, Palestine, Sri Lanka and other global hotspots spoke of his courage and the suffering of those in intolerable situations and conditions. Driven to take that elusive picture to make a front page, he would later use the proceeds from highly paid advertising assignments to work for free for humanitarian organisations highlighting their campaigns usually involving children.
On news assignments, he preferred to work in black and white citing the Canadian photographer Ted Grant: “When you photograph people in colour, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in black and white, you photograph their souls!”.
Born in Morpeth, Northumberland, to agricultural worker Thomas Stoddart and his wife Kathleen, Tom left school at 17 and applied for a job as a reporter on his local newspaper, the Berwick Advertiser where the only position going was for as an apprentice photographer. He took it and quickly discovered life with a camera was more exciting than one behind a typewriter. It was to be the start of an extraordinary career spanning five decades.
In the 1970s, Tom began working as a freelance in London’s Fleet Street, the then heart of the British national newspaper industry, and was one of the first to picture the teenage woman who would later become Diana, Princess of Wales. In 1998 over the Scottish town of Lockerbie Libyan terrorists blew up Pan-Am flight 103, Tom was one of the first on the scene. He had an uncanny nose for news, his ear always to the ground sounding out where to be next.
Photojournalist Derek Hudson, his friend of 35 years, recalls how he and Tom slept in a rental car while covering the humanitarian crisis in Isikveren, Turkey when Saddam Hussein’s Republican Guard persecuted the northern Kurdish diaspora in the aftermath of the first Gulf War.
“Tom was always the best company with his cool headed Geordie temperament and infectious laughter, which was just as well as we were about to call the tatty and cramped car our home for 10 days,” Derek said.
“If I had to choose anyone to sleep with in a tiny car, Tom was my man. A kinder more caring soul than Tom is hard to imagine. His talent only outshone by his largesse of heart. Bad mouthing folks wasn’t a thing with Tom. I taught him digital tech and he taught me to find good in everyone.” said Derek.
Tom’s work in Sarajevo, where he was badly injured, during the Bosnian war was among his finest of which thee 1993 image of Meliha Varešanović walking defiantly to work in pearls and heels while others ran to avoid snipers, remains the most iconic and one of Tom’s particular favourites.
“In 250th of a second, Meliha’s bravery, defiance, beauty and soul are captured and exposed in one powerful frame and for a photographer it doesn’t get any better than that,” he wrote.
“Ordinary women are capable of extraordinary things. When a crisis engulfs a community it’s the women who turn to face the challenges head on,” he said later in his book Extraordinary Women.
In a career punctuated with awards, not all his work was in war zones, catastrophes or crises. He photographed royals, prime ministers, world leaders and celebrities alike with charm and a touch of good humour delivered in a soft Geordie accent.
“You make great pictures with your head and your heart…and your feet,” he once said, a reference to the running required when being shot at.
But Tom was far more than a brilliant observer and portrayer of the human condition. He was a thoroughly decent man in a world that needs good men not just to shine a light into dark corners but to lead by example and encourage others to do the same.
“I have seen many awful things, but I have also seen a lot of fantastic and beautiful things,” he once said.
News of Tom’s death of cancer aged 67 came as a shock to many of his friends who had no idea he had been ill. Last year when Extraordinary Women was published to enthusiastic reviews and a major exhibition in his home city Newcastle upon Tyne, he was already ill and we did not know. This too was typical of Tom. He preferred to be the man behind the lens, not in front of it. He never sought to be the centre of attention.
The subsequent outpouring of sadness and tributes that have followed his death bear witness to that shock with dozens of messages from colleagues young photographers he befriended and mentored, the colleagues who worked with him and the friends who enjoyed a beer or three with Tom.
In 2015 Tom left his Docklands, London flat to move back to his native Newcastle. He had found the one thing he loved more than photography: Ailsa, his childhood sweetheart. In the blink of a shutter, he proposed, they married and settled in Ponteland a Newcastle leafy suburb where green-fingered Ailsa grew a magnificent rose garden while Tom nurtured his illustrious career making sure he always caught the last train home.
As one friend wrote on learning of his passing: “The world just got a bit smaller”.
He is survived by his wife Ailsa and his sister, Alicia.

Jim Bartlett was one of many unaffiliated freelancers who worked in Croatia and Bosnia during the war, and afterward.
"I was a good photographer, but realistically had little or no idea of how to be a photojournalist. I was fortunate enough to find many good mentors, and a lot of support from the people of Croatia and Bosnia. They get a lions share of the credit for this body of work. Looking back through these images, it's staggers the mind to see just how young most of us were."
Jim recently compiled a photo memoir of his time there, titled, "Kill Thy Neighbor: Bosnia 1992-98. A photo memoir." It is available on Amazon.

Beginning his career over 25 years ago with a short-lived but instructional foray into magazine publication, Justin's creative eye and intrepid spirit have since taken him on a successful, diverse and at times personally challenging journey through the world of photography and filmmaking.
His early career saw him commissioned by some of the world’s most prestigious publications to cover the extremes of the Balkan conflict, the first Gulf War, the Good Friday Agreement and the fall of communism in Eastern Europe. His extraordinary work marked him out and he joined Network Photographers, a prestigious collective of some of the best photojournalists of the 20th century. In 1997 he won Nikon's Press Photographer of the Year.
In recent years Justin has brought a different focus to his work.

Born on Aug 23rd1962 in Croatia, at the time of his birth still a part of former Yugoslavia. Studied electrical engineering at University of Zagreb. Worked as a photographer at magazine "Start" in Zagreb until 1986 when he joined US based photo agency Picture Group and started regularly working on assignments for Time, Newsweek, Der Spiegel, Stern and NY Times. In 1989 he became a co-founding photographer of Saba Press Photos agency. Among other stories he covered the collapse of Iron Curtain, exodus of Iraqi Kurds in Turkey, devastating earthquake in Turkey, the breakup of Yugoslavia, the invasion of Afghanistan. His images appeared on the front pages of Time, Newsweek, US News, L'Express and Le Nouvel Observateur. Today Filip is now retired from photography, he owns and runs a small hotel on the Adriatic island of Prvic.
Photographer Tony Ashby's career spans five decades and has won him numerous awards.
He won the prestigious Walkley Award twice, and was twice a finalist. He is credited with a long list of other awards from important press photographer exhibitions and has been honoured for being a finalist for the most valued contribution to journalism at the Walkley's.
With his vast international and domestic experience his lens has captured the full spectrum of human life, with its inevitable ups and downs, victories and defeats, and many quandaries. Some of his best work has been in troubled, often dangerous parts of the world. During 32 years with The West Australian newspaper, plus time working freelance since he travelled to countries afflicted by civil war, floods, genocide, terrorism and more.
Lebanon's internal war raged for 15 years and he was there on 10 occasions, during a period when members of the western media were abducted and being held hostage. His images told a powerful story of survival on many fronts including Iraq, Jordan and Israel.
He later tackled the 1990s Balkan wars, spending time in Croatia, where 26 of his colleagues were killed during the first six months; the dreadful siege of Sarajevo and conflict throughout in the surrounding Bosnian countryside. He returned nine times to the region which won him one of his coveted Walkleys.
There was also the Intifada in the Occupied Territories of Gaza and The West Bank, the troubles in Northern Ireland, civil war in Mozambique, genocide in Rwanda, kidnapping in Sudan, civil war and ethnic cleansing in Kosovo, Sri Lanka’s Tamil Tigers, Afghanistan and Kabul under siege by the Taliban, Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge, turbulence in Indonesia during and after the fall of President Suharto, and the fight for independence in East Timor. The tragedy of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and the floods that wreaked havoc in Bangladesh were also covered by his lens.
However, his focus has gone wider than violence and destruction. He has gathered many beautiful images of wildlife and of the daily efforts of people bravely making the most of miserable situations, often with a bright smile. He re-visited some of these places a number of times, drawing inspiration each time. On other occasions, he has visited less-violent, even peaceful countries, simply because their cultures had intrigued him.

"I worked as a freelance editorial photographer in Edinburgh in Scotland in the 90s and 2000s.
I specialised in music, performance and educational photographic subjects and magazines, like the Edinburgh International Festival or the Times Educational Supplement newspaper.
On a job for the University of Edinburgh I met and photographed Prof Nigel Osborne, who regularly travelled to Bosnia to support educational projects and the cultural life of the country.
I asked to come on one of his trips, and to my surprise and horror, he agreed.
I was no war photographer.
I made about half a dozen trips to Sarajevo and Mostar during 94, 95, and 96, photographing music therapy and art therapy projects and performances in the Sarajevo Winter Festival; I worked with organisations like Edinburgh University’s Music and Community projects, WarChild and Serious Road Trip, and found myself travelling with musicians like Brian Eno and Eugene Skeef. Sometimes I organised photographic projects with children and teenagers.
It was a humbling but great privilege to briefly experience the hospitality of the people, especially the young teenagers, of Sarajevo and Mostar. I learned a lot.
I think of it often, and I have developed a serious coffee habit to this day.”

After almost 20 years of analogic photography, shooting pictures distributed by international press agencies - Imapress, Cinestar, AFP, Reuters, and published in different magazines and newspapers, and more or less 20 others of digital cameras use, working successively for Demotix, Corbis, Getty Image and Citizenside, I’ve got my independence back, sharing my time between the production of press subjects before assigning their exclusive distribution to Alamy News and Stock Photos agency.
At 63, I want to get rid of any obligation, sharing my time between the production of pictures and subjects I’m insterested in and a more experimental practice of photography, coming back to what I feel like the origines of the photography - from ancien greek : write with the light - and using negative films in toy and vintage analogic cameras, considering the pleasure of being totally responsible of my pictures, despite any so called imperfections due to low quality plastic lenses and disused camera bodies.
It was with this in mind that I recently re-established a photo-lab, next to my home, sharing the pleasure of making B&W photographic prints in the company of my son, himself a documentary films & clips maker, and starting photographer.

Uliano Lucas was born in Milan in 1942 from a labour family. He grew up during the civil and intellectual reconstruction that characterized Lombardy during the post-world war. He carried out his studies in renaissance boarding schools where teachers such as Luciano Raimondi, Albe Steiner or Guido Petter supported partisan children offering them the possibility to study.
17 year old Uliano was expelled from school as he was too undisciplined: curious and restless when he started to mix with artists, photographers, and journalists who all lived within the area of Brera. During his endless discussions with graphic designers, intellectuals and artisans of the old Milan-at Genis or Giamaica bars- as well as talking to the photographers Ugo Mulas, Mario Dondero and Alfa Castaldi, he decided to attempt photo-journalism. At this point, Uliano saw in photo-journalism a mean of civil commitment as well as an independent profession, free from constraint, the encouragement to discover different worlds later characterizing his whole existence.
During the beginning of his career he depicts working-class moments of his town, i.e. the life and presence of his fellow writers and painters – Enrico Castellani, Costantino Guenzi, Piero Manzoni and Arturo Vermi. He also draws a picture of musical and theatrical excitement: going from Tinin Mantegazza’s “Cab ’64” to rock groups such as Stormy Six and Ribelli. more here > http://www.ulianolucas.it/

Jack Picone is the recipient of several of photography’s most prestigious international awards. These include the World Press Awards, the U.S. Photographer of The Year Awards (POY) and the Mother Jones/IFDP Grant for Social Documentary Photography.
Amongst others, his work has been exhibited at the Guggenheim Musem New York, Musée de l’Homme in Paris and Museum aan de Stroom: Amsterdam. His work is held in collections at The Australian War Memorial, State Library of N.S.W and National Portrait Gallery in Australia.

He completed a Masters degree in Visual Arts and a Ph.D. in Documentary Photography at Griffith University in Queensland Australia and is a Visiting Professor in photography at universities in Australia and Hong Kong.
Picone’s training in photography was in using black and white film and mastering traditional darkroom print-making. It is a passion that has never faded thanks to the medium’s unrivalled capacity for both subtlety and drama. As legendary photographer Robert Frank expressed it in 1951: “Black and white are the colours of photography. To me, they symbolise the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is forever subjected.” Born in Moree, Australia, Picone is currently based in Bangkok and works globally. https://www.jackpicone.com

Survival in Sarajevo: Jews, Bosnia and the Lessons of the Past
In 1991 I moved to Berlin, where I began working on what was meant to be a second book, on Germans and Jews. But after I had invested two years in the project, something happened in 1993 that changed everything. I was having coffee with a friend, Tom Gjelten of National Public Radio. Tom had told me something he had just seen while covering the siege of Sarajevo: that the tiny Jewish community had turned itself into a humanitarian aid agency and it was staffed by Jews and Muslims, Serbian Orthodox and Catholic Croats. Hadn’t I been to Sarajevo before the siege and didn’t I know people in the Jewish community? I did indeed, but never, I told him, would I go into a war zone.
Two weeks later, I was riding in the back of an armored personnel carrier through the streets of Sarajevo and stepped out and walked with wobbly knees into the community center, which I had visited in 1988 and 1989. I met my old friends who were running its humanitarian aid agency, started making notes and pulled out a camera. They slid the slivovitz across the table.
I made four trips to Sarajevo between November 1993 and February 1994 and spent a total of forty-four days under fire (which was nothing compared to other journalists and that was nothing compared to the poor souls trapped there) and then I followed the story to Israel, where I photographed and wrote about Sarajevans trying to set up new lives for themselves.
I would return to Sarajevo twice more during the siege but by this point, I had enough pictures and stories to produce a book, which I did in late 1994. Survival in Sarajevo: Jews, Bosnia, and the Lessons of the Past was published by Brandstaetter and DAP (Distributed Art Publishers) and sold over 15,000 copies in English and 5,000 in German. The photographs from this project are the strongest and most compelling I ever made as I wanted to capture what it was like to live in a war zone. Photographs from this collection were purchased by the Touro Museum in New Orleans, the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Cincinnati Art Museum, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta and the (late) Corcoran Museum in Washington.

A producer’s story unlike any you've heard before. Alex Elena was raised in the back streets of Rome, Italy. His father, a drummer, and mother, an artist, often entertained and temporarily housed various musician friends from all around the world who would come to jam sessions and record at their home. These multi-cultural artist souls fast became the much older brothers and sisters to this only child, who first picked up a drumstick at age 3 and notoriously slept in the bass drum of his father’s drum kit. Like his father, Alex excelled at playing the drums and he ended up on stage for his very first gig at age 6, in front of a couple of thousand people. At age 17, he moved to London after landing a part in Bruce Dickinson’s (front man for Iron Maiden) solo project band. At age 23 he relocated to New York where he worked as a session musician playing on Avril Lavigne’s multi-platinum debut album "Let Go" as well as on records by Belinda Carlisle, Adam Holzman and Brave New World (ex Miles Davis) to mention a few. His most significant collaboration may have been with musician-producer Tarka Cordell, son of the legendary Denny Cordell, who handed his TriBeCa studio over to Elena during a lengthy stay in England. It was during this time that Elena began honing his production skills. Elena says of Tarka Cordell, “He was the first person who saw me as a producer. Once Alex got behind the console he just couldn't stop and he began to collect equipment and experiment with recording techniques, always in search of that perfect sound as well as fresh new talent to nurture and develop. He also wanted to stir things up stating, “When you have a great pop song to begin with, why would you want to simply follow the modern trends of production? I don't find that challenging. My job is to open up new doors and create the circumstances that allow my artists to fully express themselves”.
He later moved to Los Angele where he opened up his own studio in Culver City. He partnered up with Grammy Winning producer mixing and mastering engineer Steve Baughman and together they formed their own production company Two Beards Productions. Alex's studio, M-15 West is managed by Francesco Carrozzo who is also the house engineer and works alongside Alex and Steve. Alex is endorsed by Ehrlund Microphones. One night in December 1994, Dickinson, with the aid of United Nations soldiers, slipped into Sarajevo and played a concert with his solo band, Alex Dickson, Chris Dale and Alex Elena - Skunkworks.
The story of the band’s journey to a city cut off from the world, and the concert itself, was immortalized in the 2017 film "Scream For Me Sarajevo." These are the photos Alex took during that time he was i nSarajevo. http://www.alexelenaphotography.com
