GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Young Palestinian photographer Shoroq Jaber began photographing social events and celebrations in open air settings in 2016. She had to convince her first clients in Gaza’s conservative society that photos for their special occasions could be taken outside the closed studios it's accustomed to.
Photographing special occasions such as weddings outdoors has recently gained popularity in Gaza, changing the notions of traditional photography. Unemployed university graduates are leading the movement amid rising unemployment and scarce jobs in Gaza.
