In Conversation: Photographer Moises Saman On His Journey Documenting the Arab Spring

“I was going from one assignment to another, from one revolution to the next, without really seeing the big picture,” says Saman, who now lives in Barcelona, Spain with his fiancée. “I was working one week in Tunisia, the next week in Egypt, and two weeks later I was in Aleppo. I didn’t really have the luxury of much perspective—not that there was necessarily any to be had. The situations were so complex. I just felt the need to sort of slow down and take a look at what I had done.”
