After befriending a Syrian war refugee family living in his hometown of Hatay, Turkey, a photographer planned a life-changing photoshoot with the father and son, both of whom have lost limbs in the ongoing war. One photo turned out so powerful that it won an award and got the family the help they needed and deserved.
Turkish photographer Mehmet Aslan, 33, met Munzir El Nezzel, his wife, Zeynep, and their son Mustafa, now aged 6, while distributing aid packages to Syrian refugees with a friend in January 2021.
