Don't miss the work of the young italian photographer Ruben Salvadori, which developed the project Photojournalism behind the scenes, a documentary about the world of photojournalism seen from inside.

Salvadori has observed the dynamics that develop between photographers working in war zones, talked about the exaggerated number of photographers in the areas of crisis, and noted that the work of the photojournalist may be deliberately misleading, as he may decide to tell a fictitious reality, a drama that does not exist, and a conflict far more bloody than it actually is.
Today, in fact, the information industry requires drama, even when there is none. It is a law which will not escape the photographers, who often transform the conflict into a spectacle.
Ruben Salvadori chose to photograph the backstage of a scene that is repeated every Friday in Silwan, a suburb of Jerusalem. Here the young Palestinians improvised roadblocks and dozens of photographers are ready to take pictures of them: they are depicted with covered faces and surrounded by smoke, and seem to be involved in violent clashes with Israeli soldiers. But often the reality is quite different.

Salvadori said in the video presentation of his project that his goal is to ensure that the public develops a critical sense with regard to the hundreds of images which are fed every day, but also to reflect on the massive presence of photojournalists in places of conflict.
Ruben Salvadori is an Italian photographer of 23 years old. He studied international relationships and anthropology at Jerusalem. These photos were taken in May 2011 and are part of the project Photojournalism behind the scenes.
