Framing hope

Since his arrival in Turkiye, he has been trying to establish himself as a bridge of tolerance and integration.

He started his first analog photography workshop in 2015 in a secondhand caravan, driving to villages along the border and focusing on vulnerable local and refugee children.

"Analog photography is about self-confidence. When taking a digital photograph you might think about deleting it on the spot. But with film, they spend the whole workshop thinking and feeling every one of those 36 frames, and only see them at the end. And their photos are beautiful," Salih says.
