Who is Kate Brooks?
Kate Brooks is an American photojournalist who has covered the Middle East, Afghanistan, and Pakistan since September 11, 2001.
At age 20, while studying Russian and photography, Kate became actively involved in the plight of Russian orphans, starting a non-profit aid group to help the children at an institution outside of Moscow, while documenting their lives. The resulting photographs were published in Human Rights Watch’s report entitled “Abandoned by the State: Cruelty and Neglect in Russian Orphanages” and syndicated worldwide through Saba Press Photos. The campaign for orphans’ rights galvanized global interest and raised funds to help orphaned children. She has worked as a freelance photojournalist ever since.
Immediately after the September 11 attacks, 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 Magazine.
