Photographers flock to Lebanon despite risks

Photographers are flocking to the Lebanon despite the dangers, reports the American-based Photo District News, the professional photographers' magazine. Photographer Stephanie Sinclair, who has made Beirut her home base for the last two years, says: "There are more and more photographers arriving each day. It is pretty safe in Beirut but moving around the south is tricky as the Israelis are bombing throughout the day, and it is hard to know what they will deem a target." Her view is echoed by Beth Flynn, foreign picture editor at the New York Times, who says Israeli bombardments have restricted photographers' movements, and even within the safe areas "there's a limited amount to shoot."
