alixandra fazzina featured among top female conflict photographers
NOOR's Alixandra Fazzina has been featured in an audio slideshow and article on the Guardian's website with fellow conflict photographers Lynsey Addario and Kitra Cahana.
"I've been shot at on numerous occasions and had more than a few kidnap attempts," Alix said. "I've had a few run-ins with the Taliban, who have specifically targeted me. There's a lot of times in my career I have been really, really scared."
"On the other hand I've had access to a lot of stories because I'm a woman," she continued. "Women can be more trusted, can make barriers fall down a bit more."
Hear her words and see her pictures in the audio slideshow here.

andrea bruce's damascus work in national geographic
Andrea Bruce's work from Damascus, Syria was published in the March issue of National Geographic.
National Geographic also featured Andrea in an interview about her experience working in Damascus, showing a rare glimpse of life under the regime.
"A city I’ve always loved has become a tense bubble surrounded by encroaching chaos and violence," she said. "Followed by government-approved escorts, I was only allowed to leave my hotel at specific times; searching for the real Damascus under their wary and watchful eyes. Nevertheless, what I eventually found were people, living in the shadows of an over-crowded city, who largely didn’t take sides and whose loyalty was largely undefined. As in most of the world, people simply want to live their lives."
Her tearsheet in the print edition of National Geographic is below.

NOOR's Kadir van Lohuizen has worked extensively around the world to produce broad, compelling work on global rising sea levels. This work has just been published as a substantial piece in the New York Times, online and in print.
"Rising Seas" includes a collection of slideshows and detailed information about some of the areas most vulnerable to rising seas around the globe, showing the magnitude and scope of the problem through individual area profiles. A related article, entitled Borrowed Time on Disappearing Land, focuses on how Bangladesh is confronting the problem as one of the world's most vulnerable nations, although it has contributed minimally to carbon emissions. The work in Bangladesh also includes three videos that further illustrate the situation through glimpses of everyday life and a map visualization of the effect of rising water on Bangladesh.
We invite you to see this important and informative work online or in the print edition of the New York Times.
