Serbest Salih is a photographer from Kobanî, Syria. He is the the Director of Sirkhane Darkroom, a non-profit mobile darkroom and photo lab dedicated to teaching children from Syria, Turkey, and Iraq how to shoot, develop, and print their own photos.

The darkroom operates in the south-east of Turkey, a few kilometers from the Syrian border.
