A Whole World Blind is the first book in my trilogy about the war in Syria and its effects on the Syrian people.

A Whole World Blind depicts the realities of war in Northern Syria's rebel-held territories, from the brutal to the mundane.

Award-winning photographer Nish Nalbandian has spent three years covering the war in Northern Syria and the refugees from that war in Turkey. His debut monograph, A Whole World Blind, entwines documentary photography and portraiture with oral testimony, essays, stories, and memoir to create a vivid picture of the reality of this war. A Whole World Blind depicts fighters on the frontline, as well as everyday people eking out a living amidst the ruins. Fascinated by the dynamic of life that continues through conflict, Nalbandian's photographs humanize what often read as impersonal headlines about a dangerous war.
