An interesting debate on war photography
A few days ago, Duckrabbit posted an argument that War Photographers, especially contemporary ones, tend to write about their own experiences when on assignment. This lead to VII photographer Christopher Morris to provide a counter statement and a further response from Asim Rafiqui.
Safe to say, the whole affair is rather interesting. Check it out.
Year after year, decade after decade photographers have documented war. Rarely are they in the news, rarely do they become the story. For a generation now they have provided a glimpse into humankind at it’s worse. They have done so at great personal sacrifice, they have set out to do this work for a multitude of personal reasons.
