War photography

This year, two movies were released about war photography: Civil War and Lee. The first follows the journey of two war photographers during a fictitious scenario of an American Civil War in current times. One of them is named Lee, as a tribute to the war photographer Lee Miller, who also inspired the second movie, Lee. Lee Miller was an American photographer, model, and war correspondent known for her surrealist art and groundbreaking work during World War II. Miller became one of the few female war correspondents, documenting the horrors of the war, including the liberation of concentration camps. Her powerful images and fearless approach made her a pioneering figure in war photography.

Both films vividly depict the horrors of war and the vital role that photographers play in bringing those realities to the world. They highlight the brutal dangers faced by photographers and journalists, many of whom are killed in the line of duty, and the courage they show in continuing to document these conflicts, one photo at a time.

I highly recommend to watch these two movies.
