« En tant que photojournaliste, je ne dois pas rendre ces images de guerre esthétiques pour qu’elles soient plus faciles à regarder par le public. Je suis attristé de voir que nombreux sont ceux qui critiquent les photographes pour les images qu’ils réalisent plutôt que de condamner les responsables de tous ces crimes contre l’humanité. » DEMOCRATIC DESERT,
THE WAR IN SYRIA
Robert KING

2014 Since February of 2012 Robert King has documented the unprecedented tragedy of the blatant targeting of civilians and hospitals by the al-Assad regime as well as a number of other serious human rights violations and war crimes. As the conflict is entering its third year there has been little if any international support from democratic leaders to end the killing despite the fact that over 100,000 Syrians have been killed, as well as over 28,000 have gone missing. 4.5 million Syrians are displaced within their country and over 1.5 million Syrians are now refugees in neighbouring countries.“As a photographer it is not my job to aspire towards aesthetically pleasing images of war that are palatable to the public or the photographic community. I have found, many viewers find it easier to condemn the image maker rather than the perpetrators of war crimes against humanity.”
