Ali Haj Suleiman

In 2011, I was 12 years old. I lived in Damascus and I dreamed of being a doctor to help people. In 2013 my father was arrested by the Syrian regime forces in Damascus.

I went back with my family to Idlib, my father’s original home. I stopped my studies and started working to help my family.

A year later, in 2014, I started my activity archiving photographic content within an organisation.

I decided in 2017 to carry my camera and join the ranks of the media who document the suffering of Syrians and the humanitarian violations against civilians.

I worked as a Freelance photographer with many newspapers and news sites such as Middle East Eye and Al Jazeera English.
