Malta-born photojournalist Darrin Zammit Lupi worked at Times of Malta between 1996 and 2016 and has been a contract photographer with global news agency Reuters since 1997. His work over the past two decades has taken him all over the world, during which time he covered the Bosnian war, the Kosovo refugee crisis, the South-East Asia tsunami, the Libyan conflict, development issues in various parts of Africa, and several other international assignments. His work has been widely published in the international press, including TIME, Newsweek, The New York Times, The Sunday Times, The Guardian, Paris Match, and others. His work covering documenting the plight and tragedy of migrants trying to reach European shores from Africa, culminated in the publication of his book Isle Landers in 2014, with its accompanying exhibition being seen in Malta, France, Luxembourg, Portugal, Australia, Japan and the U.S. More recently he took a step back from covering stories and travelling as he cared for and documented his teenage daughter fighting a losing battle against cancer.
