Alexandra Boulat died Friday, Oct. 5 2007. Boulat was one of the founding members of the VII Photo agency.
The agency was formed two days before the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks by seven of the best photojournalists in the world. Two days later, James Nachtwey shot the tragedy near his Manhattan apartment.
The agency, which operates independent of mainstream media, has succeeded in showing a true vision of the world. On their Web site, viiphoto.com, you can see events that have happened and are happening worldwide. From celebrities, to political leaders, to AIDS, and Afganistan, the agency sheds light on events that some people don't even know are going on.
Boulat specialized in conflict and social issues. She was born in France in 1962, and died in Paris.
