Kate Brooks began working as a freelance photojournalist in Russia while documenting systematic child abuse in state orphanages. The resulting photographs were published worldwide and used to campaign for orphans’ rights.
Following the attacks of September 11, Brooks moved to Pakistan to photograph the impact of U.S. foreign policy on the region and life in post-Taliban Afghanistan. In 2003, she covered the American invasion of Iraq and the beginning of the insurgency for TIME.
Since then, Brooks has continued to work extensively across the greater Middle East; she photographs political turmoil, the effects of conflict on civilian populations and depicts daily life in the region. Brook’s photographs are regularly published in American and European magazines. She has received numerous international awards and has exhibited her work in the United States, Europe and the U.A.E.
