"The iraq night patrol series was one of the most frightening
photo-series I've seen about war.
Zoriah pushed war photography in another dimension.

You suddenly start appreciating your own life knowing that millions of
other souls don't even know how to survive the next night.

Филби's ПРОПАГАНДА ? says:

"George Orwell said “During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act” and Zoriah's photographs tell the truth. If you pay a visit to his photostream then you will have trouble sleeping from his raw photographs. His work is a punch in our stomachs. It is an amazing work of photojournalism that penetrates our brains like a bullet. All the arty farties that call themselves photographers by producing blurred images that portray nothing, should fill their pockets with stones, dive in the sea and ask Zoriah to photograph them..."

"Iconic, compelling images of war by a true professional.

Deserves to take a well earned place in history in the company of Phillip Jones-Griffith, Don Mc Cullen, Larry Burrows and Robert Capa.

The minimal presentation of his work is perfect...the viewer fills in the details, and the images linger stubbornly in the memory, to awake one from sleep in a cold sweat...these images cannot be taken in in one viewing...the viewer returns restlessly again and again, attempting to process the information...this is really happening... I take my hat off to him."
