WE CAME FROM FIRE. “Joey Lawrence.”
As soon as I opened this book and began taking in these portraits of Kurdish fighters and families in Iraq and Syria all I wanted to do was cry. Joey has done a beautiful job at bringing humanity back into the darkest of times. I admire that he went to great lengths to take these photographs and publish this book.
These photos are breathtaking but are also very special to me as they are from a place that last year completely changed my life and faith.
Also since I started to get into photography seven years ago there have been three photographers who have deeply inspired and influenced my photography. One of them is the amazing , so it’s an honour to now finally have his work in physical form.
Thank you and team, you have done beyond an amazing job with capturing a story and sharing a light on what was a dark time for the entire world.
