Mauricio Lima is an independent documentary photographer focused on the lives of those affected by armed conflict and social crisis.
Lima has produced extensively works in Afghanistan, Brazil, Iraq, Libya, Portugal and Ukraine. His work frequently appears in The New York Times, among other clients.
In 2015, Lima spent most of the year focused on the refugees influx to Europe from the Middle East, in which he followed the Majid family journey, from Syria, for 29 days through 7 countries −from Serbia to Sweden− after working between Turkey, Syria and Iraq for several weeks to document the ongoing conflict and its consequences for the local population as well as for the Yazidis, a religious minority group from Sinjar Mountain region.
Today, Europe is facing the biggest human exodus since the end of the World War II: hundreds of thousands of refugees around the world are fleeing their homes in search of a better life—these are some of their stories.
