Photojournalism at the Crossroads

Analog: Polaroids
Photographer: Jehad Nga
For a series of pirate portraits he made in Somalia, photographer Jehad Nga used Polaroid film. "It became clear that I would finally be traveling to Hobyo, Somalia, to meet major players in the piracy trade," recounts Nga, "so I started to think. This was a group of men and an area of the country that I had yet to familiarize myself with. I knew it was one of the more important trips I would be taking to Somalia in my five years of working in the country."
