war photo
Battlefield captured moment
A war photo is a photograph documenting armed conflict—combat, its aftermath, or the human toll of warfare.
War photos range from battlefield action shots to images of refugees, destroyed cities, and military personnel.
The genre carries weight because of its capacity to shape public opinion: The war photo of the napalmed girl helped turn Americans against Vietnam.
