Theo Fruendt's professional carrier as a photo-journalist reflects a deep engagement with complex social and political issues across various regions of conflict and wars / civil-wars. His experience in "social unstable" countries has likely shaped his perspective on the nuances of conflict and the ethical responsibilities of journalists. After graduating, he began his career as a PR & advert photographer but his studies in communication sciences sparked a keen interest in reportage from socially unstable regions. Initially hopeful that documentaries and photo essays on wars and conflicts could foster awareness and prevent such tragedies. He became disillusioned over time, particularly in light of the misinformation surrounding the Iraq War. He also covered Balkan for 10 years, then Dafur/Sudan Libanon, Somalia, Pakistan, Kashmir and Afghanistan. His work in China and Singapore as a freelancer after grappling with the challenges of defining "freedom fighters" versus "moderate terrorists" from the Balkans to the Middle East highlights the evolving nature of conflict and the complexities of identity in journalism. This experience may have further enriched his understanding of global narratives and the importance of context in storytelling. Overall, Theo Fruendt's background illustrates a commitment to ethical journalism while navigating the intricate landscapes of human experience through his lens.
