FRENCH PHOTOJOURNALIST CAMILLE LEPAGE KILLED IN CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC • The corpse of [Camille] Lepage was found after a patrol by [French] Sangaris troops stopped a car driven by Christian ‘anti-Balaka’ groups, in the Bouar region, the statement said. Everything will be done to uncover the circumstances of this assassination and to track down who murdered our compatriot, it said. Lepage had sold her photos to a number of news agencies and French publications while working as a freelancer. She had recently been selected for a prestigious New York Times portfolio review and workshop. A native of Angers, France, she also had worked extensively in Juba, South Sudan. “What fascinates me about photography is its universal language,” Lepage told photo website PetaPixel in an interview last year. “Unlike other media, anyone can understand a picture, feel it, it speaks to the viewers … I feel that [a] picture you love lives in you, you can think about it, and [it can get you] where the photographer was, which is amazing.”
