Amera, a young Yazidi bride dances following her marriage to Samir, a fellow Yazidi. The ceremony and after-party took place in a clearing outside of the Bajed Kandala Displacement Camp in Iraqi Kurdistan; all of those in attendance, as well as the bride and groom, were forced to flee their home of Sinjar, Iraq following an ISIS attack in August 2014. Currently home to over 9,000 displaced Yazidis, those living in the Bajed Kandala camp do their best to live life "normally", celebrating weddings, birthdays and religious holidays as they are able.
