The fourth episode of “The Story Behind The Photo” features the late Dr. Christopher Paul Lowe (1963-2024), a British photographer, associate of The VII Foundation and head of the postgraduate programme in photojournalism and documentary photography at the London College of Communication, University of the Arts.
Lowe captured life in Sarajevo during the Siege and the subsequent post-war period, leaving behind a significant body of work, including photographs documenting daily life in Sarajevo from 1992 to 1996.
This interview was conducted in 2019 and was intended to be the first episode, however, it remained unpublished in the hope of creating more content with Lowe, which, unfortunately, his unexpected death prevented...
