|* photos. Jean-Marc Bouju - winner of World Press Photo in 2003



A photo made by Jean-Marc Bouju during the war in Iraq in 2003 won the price of the World Press Photos Competition and became rather famous. It is a photo of an Iraqi war prisoner at a U.S. detention camp with a hood on his head and holding his fraigttened son.

For me this photo symbolizes the sufferings of people in any war. It doesn't matter who that person is or who put the hood on his head. The image of the barbed wire is very strong. At the same time it is a story of love of a father towards his son even druing the hard times.
