Elia Kahvedjian
Kahvedjian’s documentary photography taken during the British Mandate period is undoubtedly an important visual representation of Palestine before 1948. From the portrait studios he worked for to the ones that he established, Kahvedjian periodically ventured out of the studio to capture images of Palestine and its inhabitants. Today, these images are regarded as a treasure trove of a lost but not forgotten homeland.
