there is a story behind this shot and it goes like this,Photography is forbidden in the streets of my city,if you do you will be a suspect to either parts of the conflict,the government and the anti government and you could be killed very easily .two days ago a local TV station had to do some video shooting in the street,and because they have holding cameras in their hands,with an authorized pass to shoot from the local police,they have to be protected from being kidnapped or killed by the other part of the conflict,so they have escorted by a police force,this young guy is one of the escorting team,if you ask why he is hiding his identity,that is another story to tell,or may be you have known by now, I can not dare to shoot them,unless I have taken their permission,and telling them that I am a photographer too,they have pleased to be shot,and this day they have come to me to take a copy of their photos,I have fully took advantage of the moment and shoot every one in the team,
Tammam Boss. You are a brave man ! Yes, he must conceal his identity otherwise he or his family at home will be .......
And he is not a soldier but a private security company employee. A lot of risc for maybe a lot of money. And also you show here he is a human being too, a young boy, a human like you and me. Whatever side of the conflict, all are humans, all are creatures of God, all are brothers ( even if they dont realise ). 7/7 for this excellent demo of your courage and being ( not isme but the other word ) Salaam
one day the usa will have to pay for what they have done to your country and usa themselves will be thrown into a neverending civil war and terrorist atmos-fear... where even taking a picture could be the death sentence both for the photographer and the model
