afghanistan project mainAsef Ali Mohammad, 25, who is studying for a BA in photography, was given the brief “America” by his tutors and was told he could take any angle on it he wished.

He decided to see what the “average people” of Afghanistan thought about the US intervention in their country and spent nine days in Kabul gathering the portraits and views of more than 30 Afghan citizens.

His work was picked up by highly regarded photojournalism publication Foto8 Magazine, who put it on their website, and has now appeared in Newsweek magazine in the USA.
