‘Yousef’s work is inspired by his own life experience of being unable to speak until he was given a camera by his father. ‘Of Palestinian origin…he grew up exposed to images of war and violence. He needed a voice to express his inner turbulence, and photography gave him that voice.’
An article for JAN Trust written by Shereen Malherbe and inspired by award-winning, international photographer 
Yousef Khanfar.
