New ZUMA Expands Middle East Coverage


May 12, 2004 - San Clemente, CA - ZUMA Press is proud to announce that photojournalist NADAV NEUHAUS has joined its growing team of extraordinary photojournalists in the Middle East. The move to sign Neuhaus is part of ZUMA's ongoing efforts to boost its coverage of the region and follows the signing of Osama Silwadi in Palestine last month.

Neuhaus is a seasoned photojournalist who has covered the Zapatista movement in Mexico, the Taliban in India, the war Kosovo and has spent over a decade documenting the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.

Best known for his 2002 coverage of the siege in the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, Neuhaus' images have been published as double-page spreads in Newsweek and have also appeared in numerous other media outlets around the world, including TIME Magazine and Paris Match. Neuhaus attributes his strong coverage of that standoff to his well-established relationship with Israeli authorities.

"I have been covering Gaza and the ongoing conflict for so many years that I have developed a very special relationship with the army. Even I am often surprised at the amount of trust and access they allow me!" says Neuhaus.

He is currently working on two long-term projects: "Victims of Terror," now in its eighth month of development, explores the human tragedy on both Palestinian and Israeli sides of Gaza. "Gaza Since the First Intifada" is a 15-year documentary of the Israeli side of the Gaza strip, including its settlements, habitants, Army Special Ops and more.

Neuhaus began his career with Sygma and was later represented by Corbis. He is now available for editorial assignments through ZUMA Press. For more information, please contact Ruaridh Stewart, ZUMA's picture desk manager, at 949.481.3747.

With two great tear sheets in leading entertainment weeklies (above), it has been a really good week for KPA-ZUMA Hollywood shooter RENA DURHAM.

In Touch Weekly ran this sweet moment between actors ASHTON KUTCHER and DEMI MOORE as a full page in the May 17, 2004, issue (page five). The picture was taken at Cheaper by the Dozen's L.A. premiere.

And Us Weekly ran this hot shot of LINDSAY LOHAN and MISCHA BARTON at the 2004 Vanity Fair Oscar after-party as a double-page spread (see pages 52-53 in the May 17, 2004, issue). Nice work, Rena!
