Battle for Mosul

The images here are from my coverage of the war on Isis in Iraq 2014-2017. I began photographing the conflict with the Kurdish Peshmerga in 2014 as they tried to hold back the advancing terror group from entering their territory in Northern Iraq. Later I embedded with Iraqi special forces units as the deadly liberation of Mosul, the second largest city in Iraq, began in 2016. The war had a devastating effect on the country and its population and my focus was to portray their battle for survival and freedom fought both on the frontlines and among the millions of civilians which lives had been ravaged by war and the rule of a brutal terror regime.
