“This is my journey through the shadows—where the world doesn’t see me, but I am still here. Invisible, yet real. Broken, yet fighting.”

In the photo series The Invisible Me, the media artist Abdul Naser Sahebzada reflects on the Taliban‘s ban on depicting living beings, be they humans or animals.

The Taliban has ordered media in many provinces of Afghanistan to stop airing images of any living being, a drastic step widely criticized by journalism and civil liberty groups.

.Abdul Naser Sahebzada is a documentary, street, and landscape photographer with a keen eye for capturing authentic moments and compelling stories. He is the CEO and Founder of APH (Afghanistan Photographers Home), an organization dedicated to supporting and promoting photographers. Abdul Naser has been recognized for his outstanding work, winning first prize in photojournalism from the Ministry of Culture and Communication in both 2022 and 2023.
