THIS IS KARIM

Karim is a Sweden-born photographer working mainly in journalism and documentary photography. In 2011–2012, he documented the revolution in Egypt; a year later, he was in Libya capturing everyday life one year after the anti-Gaddafi uprising. Since then, he has worked across the Middle East, Asia, and Central America.

Projects include documenting the lives of sex workers and drug users in Bangladesh, migrants deported to Honduras and Guatemala, and Syrian refugee communities in Lebanon and Algeria. He has also photographed the first female pastor in the Middle East, hashish-growing families in Lebanon, and daily life in San Pedro Sula, once the world’s deadliest city.

The work has been published in Foreign Policy, The Guardian, Al Jazeera, VICE, India’s The Caravan, Norway’s Aftenposten, and numerous Swedish outlets including Svenska Dagbladet, Sydsvenskan, Fokus, Hemslöjd, OmVärlden, and Vi Läser.
