“Alexandra Boulat, an award-winning photojournalist who covered conflict in the former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq and Israel and was a founding member of the VII photo agency, died October 5 in a Paris hospital. Boulat had suffered a brain aneurysm in June while shooting in Gaza; she never recovered.
Born in 1962 in France, Boulat was the daughter of LIFE magazine photojournalist Pierre Boulat and founder of the Cosmos photo agency Annie Boulat. Alexandra first pursued a career in art, studying graphic design and art at the Beaux Arts in Paris and working as a painter before becoming a photojournalist in 1989. She was represented by Sipa Press for ten years. In that time she covered the war in Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo. She also photographed the effects of international sanctions on Iraq. Her coverage of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict included a photo essay on Yasser Arafat and his family.”
