In the years after the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan by the United States and the ouster of the Taliban regime, Argentine photojournalist Rodrigo Abd spent months on assignment in the country and learned how to use a traditional Afghan “box camera”: a handmade wooden camera and darkroom in one. For ‘A New Light’, Abd returned with the intention to use this vanishing Afghan art form to document how life has changed in peacetime, for better and worse, two years after US troops left and the Taliban returned to power. His stirring images reveal that Afghanistan is more secure and peaceful than it has been in decades, yet the price many pay for this stability is unimaginably high.
