Leading photographers have joined forces with disaster relief charity ShelterBox to produce Hope and Strength. They say the photo series is a tribute to the incredible strength of families living through devastation in disaster zones across the world

Photographers Olly Burn, Tom Stoddart, Veronique de Viguerie and Dougie Wallace travelled around the world to take photos of people who are living in disaster zones.
