Abstract
This article presents a qualitative analysis of photographs taken of Syrian refugees by the the Turkish photojournalist, Kemal Vural. There is an exceptional situation at the Turkish border. I will describe how these people cross the border, the dangers they face in walking through minefields, and the emotions that they experience then. The article concludes that refugees are portrayed as being displaced in transit through a flow that has not yet been defined. Finally, the analysis has been contextualized in the Syrian conflict and the problems this has entailed.
