In 2005, Pep Bonet won the W. Eugene Smith Humanistic Grant in Photography.
He has won numerous other awards, too, and is a most prolific photographer - click on his name above to view his website where you will see the extensive amount of important and powerful work he has produced. Much of the work I am showing here is from his series entitled,
"Faith in Chaos"
which he shot in Sierra Leone and which won him the W. Eugene Smith grant. I encourage you to read the artist's
statement on that series by clicking on the link above which I'll provide again since it is something I really hope you'll read: "Faith in Chaos". I have also included
some images from his exhibition, "Watching in Silence" and a few other random images from other series. Most of Pep
Bonet's work centers on human rights, social
issues such as HIV/Aids, and the cruel aftermath of war along with the
spirit to overcome it.
