“His most famous photographs were taken in Beirut during that country’s lengthy civil war, when a picture of a young girl trying to cross the Green Line that divided the warring factions won several international prizes, notably the prestigious Prix Lafontaine in France. That picture introduced him to a new, English-speaking audience when it appeared on the front cover of Newsweek, after a long period in which his work, though much admired by his contemporaries, appeared mostly in Italian, Frenc...h and German publications. It also created a paradox for Terzano, in that he was subsequently best known for an image he considered uncharacteristic of his photojournalism. Terzano had not visited Lebanon since the end of the war in 1990, and colleagues speculate that he may have failed to realise that the south of the country is still heavily mined.
