    Click on this link to view this beautiful video. Make sure you have the image maximised on your screen for best effect.

    This is what Lukas Augustin wrote about his production:-

    As each of us has his own impression of Afghanistan that is predominantly marked with pictures of foreign forces, explosions and terror, we were privileged to have access to capture daily life and portrait some people of Afghanistan.
    We hope the pictures you know will merge with the pictures you see and will enrich your view on the country in the Hindu Kush.

    locations:
    Kabul and Mazar-e Sharif
    We wanted to go to other places as well but there were several incidents and security was too bad. Just one day after shooting at the blue mosque in Mazar-e Sharif a mob started from the very same place storming the UN building.

    I have lived from 2006-2008 in Kabul doing my civil service for a humanitarian aid organization. This March I had the chance to go back with my fiancé to show her the place I love and to capture the beauty of this country with our cameras.

    At the same time I made this as a tribute to a dear friend, who was shot in the streets of Kabul. Gayle inspired me in her love and dedication for the Afghans.

    After a full summer with other work we had now the chance to do the editing.

    Lisa-Maria Puy who composed the music for us was wonderful to work with. We met her on Zanzibar island and back in Germany she composed this wonderful soundtrack within just 3 days (and nights). She studied music at HfM Detmold in Germany and is a very talented artist and we hope to work with her again.
    You can contact her on: puy-music[at]gmx.de


    Last week the clip got published in the iPad edition of Süddeutsche-Zeitung Magazin.


    I hope you enjoy and we are happy for your honest feedback.
    Lukas and Salome Augustin
