A cooking pot became a photographer's helmetSourced
With no proper helmet, a photographer improvised with kitchenware.
While documenting a protest near Gaza's border in 2015, photographer Samar Abu Elouf used a cooking pot as an improvised helmet. She also marked her vest 'PRESS' so people could identify her as a journalist. The makeshift gear shows the conditions behind the images she made.
The person behind a photograph has a story too.
