An exhibition of my portraits of Syrian children, the Inside-Outside Project, is up at the San Francisco World Affairs Council, on view from February 2 "“ April 29, 2016.

David Gross' photography for the Inside-Outside Project lets you see through the eyes of both the photographer and the subjects. The Syrian refugee children were photographed using classical European portraiture and lighting technique, showing them with dignity and freeing them from the role of "poor refugee." The photography sessions were combined with painting classes, and the children's artwork lets us see the refugee experience through their eyes. The portraits and drawings are too familiar to be foreign, and we are left with the realization these could be our children.
