A Handful of Dust, a new book available from Daylight Books, is an essential collection of reportage for those following the conflict in Syria and its impact on the rest of the world. This series of images by award-winning documentary photographer Nish Nalbandian gives a glimpse into the approximately 3 million Syrians who have fled war in their home country and are living in Turkey. He has been following this story for several years, chronicling the circumstances of many whose lives have been upended and forced to flee. Most registered refugees don’t live in camps, they live in Turkish towns and cities, alongside their new Turkish neighbors. While many refugees are very poor, and most find themselves in a precarious position, there are also working class, middle class, and wealthy Syrians who have made this exodus. Today, Nish Nalbandian still continues to cover Syrian refugee issues.
