    Yasser was able to capture not only the depth of the art made by the main character in Gaza, but also the conflict surrounding Gazans during the March of Return. His micro shots are excellent with Sony a7ii, showing intricate figurines that the artist makes out of bullets. He is creative with shooting the main character, from many angles, including casual every-day interactions that make the story beautiful. In addition, like in previous stories, Yasser goes to great lengths to capture the unrest and often danger during the marches in Gaza, where he risks his life to bring our footage. Finally, he is a professional and stunning video journalist who always looks for original stories at short notice that he pitches to AJ Plus. I believe this story deserves a five.
