Larry Towell, a renowned Canadian documentary photographer and longtime Magnum Photos member, has spent decades capturing the human cost of conflict, with his work in Palestine standing as one of his most significant contributions to photojournalism. Through his lens, he offers a deeply intimate and humanistic perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, focusing not on military confrontations but on the everyday struggles of civilians caught in the turmoil. Towell spent years documenting life in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, producing hauntingly powerful images of displaced families, demolished homes, refugee camps, military occupation, and the resilience of Palestinian communities. His long-term project, spanning from the early 1990s to the 2000s, culminated in "Then Palestine", a photobook showcasing his commitment to depicting the harsh realities of war and occupation. His photography frequently highlights Israeli checkpoints, barbed wire fences, and military patrols, contrasting them with deeply personal moments of Palestinian families striving for normalcy amidst constant instability.
