Our photographer Martin Tremblay was selected for Visa pour l’image in Perpignan, one of the major international photojournalism festivals around the world, for his war shots in Ukraine.
Posted at 5:00 a.m.
Last March, Martin Tremblay trained his lens on the war in Ukraine, shortly after the first Russian bombardments. Among these images, three were selected for the 34e edition of Visa pour l’image in Perpignan.
“Being screened at Visa this year means a lot to me. I see it as an accomplishment,” rejoices the photojournalist.

Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians pass through Lviv’s Central Station, in a great exodus of women and children from the country fleeing the war. War has been raging for several days in Ukraine, attacked by Vladimir Putin’s Russia.
It was the first editions of Visa pour l’image that “triggered” his desire to get into the business, recalls Martin Tremblay in an interview.
His images, which bear witness to the reality of the conflict in Ukraine, were projected on the giant screens of Campo Santo in Perpignan on Friday evening, as part of the professional week of the international festival. The organization had reserved an evening there bringing together war photos taken in Ukraine.
