Thomas Dworzak - Taliban



© Magnum Photos

The majority of this collection comprises of photographs collected by Dworzak in the wake of the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan. The candid style was something that the Taliban sought themselves; Dworzak did seek to portray them in such a flamboyant and avant-garde manner. This is how they chose to be photographed. The photographs were never picked up by customers as it is thought they had to flee towns with the onset of the American invasion.
