BENJAMIN LOWY – Iraq Perspective
Posted by Fabio 15 September 2011
American photographer Benjamin Lowy began this project as a response to what he felt was the general inability of people back home to comprehend what Iraq is like. Most people have never really seen or felt the effects of war. Confronted by a level of violence so high that walking on the street to photograph is tantamount to suicidal behavior, he found himself confined to working with American soldiers, spending most of his time going on various missions while looking at the landscape of this broken country. Benjamin Lowy only view was through the inches-thick bulletproof window of an Army Humvee.
Benjamin Lowy lives in New York City with his wife, photographer Marvi Lacar, their sons Mateo and Kaleb, and two dogs.
