Olivier Laban-Mattei has had an extensive career as a photojournalist: while working for Agence France Presse, he covered conflict-prone areas such as Iraq, Iran, Gaza Strip, Georgia Burma, Haiti and Tunisia. He then veered onto the path of a freelancer and began covering the refugee crisis: recently, following migrants along the Serbian-Hungarian border.

A Blink user, MYOP member, and recently appointed director of the agency, Laban-Mattei spoke to Kyla Woods about the benefits of working with an agency and the ethics behind working for non-government organizations.
