Daniel Berehulak and Kenny Holston Join The Times as Staff Photographer Correspondents

We are thrilled to announce that two incredibly talented journalists are joining The Times as staff photographer correspondents.

Daniel Berehulak, who calls Mexico City home, will continue to contribute to our biggest international storylines, including our ongoing coverage of the conflict in Ukraine.

Born into a Ukrainian refugee family, Daniel grew up on a farm outside of Sydney, Australia. After graduating from the University of New South Wales with a history degree he started his career as a photographer in a garage-run sport agency in 2000. From 2005 to 2013, Daniel was a staff news photographer with Getty Images, based in London and later New Delhi. In 2013 he embarked upon a freelance career to pursue long-term projects. He became a frequent contributor to The Times, and his work for The Times has been recognized with two Pulitzer Prizes: in 2015, for feature photography for his coverage of the Ebola epidemic in West Africa; and in 2017 for breaking news photography for his coverage of the so-called war on drugs in the Philippines. Daniel's work has been recognized with many other awards including six World Press Photo awards; two Photographer of the Year awards from Pictures of the Year International; two George Polk Awards and the prestigious John Faber, Olivier Rebbot and Feature Photography awards from the Overseas Press Club, the Visa d'or Daily Press Award and the Visa d'or Feature Award at the Visa Pour L'image photojournalism festival among others.

"Daniel is that rare photographer who manages to not only shoot brilliant images, but also bring grace, humanity and a deep well of empathy and respect to every individual or subject he covers," says Azam Ahmed, global investigative correspondent, who collaborated with Daniel when he was Kabul and then Mexico City bureau chief. "Daniel is tireless and fearless, but also kind, funny and humble (in spite of his bottomless list of accolades). The Times is lucky to have landed Daniel, as are the many journalists who will get to work with him in the years to come."

Daniel's gripping and deeply empathetic work covering the conflict in Ukraine has helped set our coverage apart this year. We look forward to the powerful visual journalism and collaborations sure to result from Daniel's new role.
