Prior to the production of Shooting in Sderot, we have constructed a photo essay of some faces of Sderot with street style photography. Our objective for this project is to visually convey the emotions of the people living in the city, whether they are happiness, indifference, or any other. We want to tell Sderot’s story in a way that can be universally understood, and what better way to do that than with photographs.
We went into the city with a mission to see and understand how people there live. We shot them in their workplaces, at their most frequented places in town, and with their families. We hope that this project brings the world one step away from politics and one step closer to the humans of Sderot.
We want to prove that all people- no matter where people live, what their beliefs are, or what they do with their time- are the same. We all have fears, we all struggle, and we all have a pressing urge to be happy. We hope that our photos can show some reality of the people that live in Sderot regardless of politics, economics, and unawareness.
