iLibya 3 | Aftermath

In the year following Gaddafi's fall from power, Libya has been wracked by the growing pains of democracy common among the countries of the Arab Spring movement. Numerous revenge killing, rampant power-hungry militias, crime, and the rise of fundamentalist Islamists have plagued Libya's recovery.

With a grant from the Magnum Foundation Emergency Fund, I returned to Libya to document its first free elections in near half a century and to explore the growth of a country that is being torn apart.

I was also tasked with using social media platforms like Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, and Facebook to immediately post images of Libya, bypassing traditional print venues and perhaps paving the way for a new type of interactive and immediate visual storytelling.
