Beyond its importance, photojournalism in war zones puts the professional in a constant “battle” with their own personal limits. This includes their physical safety, their emotional and mental health, and the moral and ethical dilemmas they face on a daily basis.

We have all seen images of war and the horrific consequences of war, but few of us know exactly what a professional photojournalist goes through to capture a moment that will convey the news through the image.

In order to understand how the photographs are produced under these particular conditions, an attempt was made to record through a camera mounted on a protective helmet. A small demonstration of how the image is born in the heart of the conflict.

A properly “delivered” photograph can immediately convey the message and the emotions its creator wishes to convey: information, concern, joy, sadness, anger, but also questions that open the way to discussion and further reflection.

But wouldn’t it be just as useful to know the conditions under which an image is produced in war situations? It would help us to fully understand its weight and value, not only as a medium, but also as the product of an extremely difficult and dangerous process.
