Capturing the battlespace

House search. Baghdad, Iraq 2007. By Luke Wolagiewicz

Battlespace is an online exhibition of photojournalism from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The slideshow is stunning. There are some disturbing images, so be warned. These aren’t the “breakfast table” images you see in the newspapers.

Combat photography is obviously a very difficult job. The photos in the exhibition are a great achievement and serve to inspire combat photographers, military or otherwise. If you want to see some more shots from Afghanistan, check out Canada’s Combat Camera site. There are thousands of photos of daily life as well as some mission photography that may rival the shots in the exhibition.
