Photos by Rafael Yagobzadeh
The internet has made it easier for photographers to showcase their work and get it out to the masses. However, it’s because of this that your work can get lost in the mix with so much information floating around. When it comes to getting your stuff published in magazines, that becomes a whole other challenge… something that photojournalist Pierre Terdjam has faced time and time again. Due to the subject matter of his photography, he has found it almost impossible to get the photos he’s taken published from his visits to Egypt, Georgia, and Afghanistan. He wants to share what he has seen in war-torn parts of the world and show people what is really going on.
In order to get his photos noticed, he and some friends created a project known as Dysturb, which involves wheat pasting their images that can get published all over the streets of Paris. Their photos are blown up to billboard-sized prints so the masses can get a glimpse of what life is like in places such as Ukraine and Egypt. The goal of this project is to raise awareness and tell the story of what is going on in parts of the world that many never see. The group hopes to inspire other photographers to think of different ways to get their work out into the world, and they plan on expanding into the U.S. You can check out some of their work in the gallery below.
