Direct eye contact, a neutral background and perfect lighting – Jens Umbach’s approach to the situation in Afghanistan is very unusual. Using improvised studios at markets and on dirt roads, he produced a series that establishes a basis for a different understanding of crisis reporting.

Jens Umbach has launched a crowd-funding campaign to produce a photo book of this project. You can support the project up until 14.10.16 at: bit.ly/theafghans.

You can find further images in the LFI 7/2016.
