Story
the photographer
Omer Khan grew up in Kabul, studied and graduated from the journalism faculty. His deep passion and love for photography has taken him to different corners of Afghanistan, from the big cities to small villages. He tries to capture not the war that most of our audience is already familiar with but the beauty and glory that exists in his country.
The Concept
In war-torn countries the vast majority of professional photographers work for news agencies. This means their work is often focused on coverage of conflict. Our project is motivated by the opportunity to give talented photographers an entirely new outlet for their work. Through this project we hope to reveal a side to war-torn countries rarely seen in the international media.
