Eid 2012
Gender dynamics played a huge role in shooting this Eid series. Traditionally, women must pray behind men or in a separate space. Being a female photographer, I had to figure out how I can document the culture as well as keep the trust within the community. In these questionable times we need positive imagery to push against the vile xenophobia and trash headlines. Khadija Saye
