Rory Peck was one of the most skillful and respected freelance cameramen of his generation, who captured some of the most enduring news images of the late twentieth century.
Rory was killed in Moscow in October 1993. He had been filming a vicious gun battle outside the Ostankino television station during Russia’s October coup and was caught in crossfire.
