Someone to aspire to - Yannis Behrakis

"I’m one of the few lucky ones who get paid to do their hobby! I find myself helping younger photographers with my experience."

This is the ultimate selfie taken by Yannis Behrakis. How far have you gone to capture to the perfect snap.

Although Yannis Behrakis was born in Athens, Greece, he considers himself a reporter of the world. For over 20 years he has felt a heavy responsibility to put himself in the middle of the story and consequently, much of the time in extreme danger.

He has covered some of the most war-torn regions on the planet in an effort to make everyone responsible for what's happening. He attempts to be invisible and fall into the background to take photographs, but on occasion the action is consuming. He says the best part about his job is the travel and I think he is just about the luckiest guy in news.

"It’s an amazing job we do by telling people what’s going on."
