Australian photojournalist Daniel Berehulak was awarded the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography. His powerful images, shot for The New York Times, over a period over 14 weeks revealed the horror of the Ebola epidemic in West Africa. During this period, Berehulak spent time in rural and urban areas of West Africa. His pictures offer us an insight into the heart-breaking and challenging work that aid workers and the local communities carried out.

A photographer with Getty Images since 2002, before shifting his focus to world news, politics and social issues, Berehulak initially shot sport. In 2013, he moved to Getty Images Reportage to focus on a combination of long-term personal projects, breaking news and client assignments. He is currently based in Barcelona and New Delhi. This is not the first time that he’s been recognised for a Pulitzer, and in 2011 was nominated his work documenting the floods in Pakistan.
