With a focus on news, conflicts, and social issues, Boulat covered
subjects ranging from child trafficking in Romania to an Yves Saint
Laurent fashion show. From 1991 to 1999, Boulat documented the
conflict in Croatia, Bosnia, and Kosovo. She also covered the fall
of the Taliban in Afghanistan, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the
role of women in Islamic nations, and the invasion of Iraq.
Boulat's photos have been published in Time, Newsweek, and
Paris-Match, among other publications. Her work has appeared in
National Geographic many times, beginning with a February 2000
article on Kosovo. Subsequent subjects have included the Albanian
people, culture and conflict in Indonesia, and the Berbers of
Morocco.
Boulat has published two books, Paris (2002) and Eclats de Guerre
(Lights of War) (2002), and received many international awards.
In 2001, Boulat co-founded the VII photo agency, intended to
document conflict—environmental, social, and political—to "produce
an unflinching record of the injustices created and experienced by
people."
Boulat is known for her nearly two decades of work capturing
poignant images of people affected by war. She died of a brain
aneurysm at the age of 45 in 2007.
