Les Stone
During the last two decades, critically acclaimed photographer LES STONE has chronicled the human cost of conflict in Iraq, Afghanistan,
Israel, Kosovo, Liberia, Cambodia and Haiti, among other war zones.
The winner of several World Press Photo Awards and Picture of the Year Awards, Stone vaulted to prominence in 1989 when he photographed the savage, bloody beating
of the newly elected Vice President of Panama by thugs of Generalissimo Manuel Noriega. The image revealed the true nature of Noriega's repressive regime. Since then,
Stone has covered stories often ignored by the mainstream media, including the deadly legacy of Agent Orange in Vietnam, the plight of Iraqi Kurds fleeing the first
Gulf War, and the deployment of child-soldiers in Africa.
Stone's work has appeared in the pages of National Geographic, Time, Life, Paris Match, Stern and Fortune, as well as in The Palestine and the
Arab-Israeli Conflict (Bedford Books), Haiti: Dangerous Crossroads (South End Press) and A Day in the Life of the United States Armed Forces (HarperCollins).
A 2005, an enchanting selection of Stone's Haitian Voodoo images exhibited in Laguna Beach, California. The collection will show in 2006, at the St. Mungo Museum of
Religious Life and Art in Scotland, U.K.
