Didier Lefèvre
Didier Lefèvre (1957–2007) was a French photojournalist.[1] His photos have appeared in many French magazines, including L'Express and Éditions Ouest France.[2] He was best known for co-authoring with Emmanuel Guibert the book The Photographer, which told the story of his travels with a Médecins Sans Frontières mission during the Soviet–Afghan War.[3] Lefèvre shot more than 4,000 photos on his 1986 MSF mission. He suffered from chronic furunculosis; he lost fourteen teeth after the MSF mission as a consequence of malnutrition, exhaustion, and stress from his experiences. Nonetheless, Lefèvre returned to Afghanistan seven more times later in life.[4] Lefèvre was trained as a pharmacist.[5] He died from heart failure on 29 January 2007 at the age of 49.[1] Awards
