Story
The photographer
Bachar Srour is a Plastic Arts graduate from the Lebanese University of Fine Arts. After graduation, he shifted to photography mainly taking fashion editorial commissions. His work broadened to include clients from Art magazines to fashion designers.
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.
