Fotografi perang

Sebuah ladang di Antietam, Perang Saudara Amerika karya Alexander Gardner, 1862.

Fotografi perang menangkap foto-foto konflik bersenjata dan wilayah-wilayah yang terkena perang.

Meskipun foto dapat mewakili lebih langsung ketimbang lukisan atau gambar, foto-foto tersebut terkadang dimanipulasi sehingga membuat gambar tersebut menjadi tidak objektif secara jurnalistik.

Sejarah

Asal mula

John McCosh was the first known war photographer. He captured images of the Second Sikh War (1848-1849).

Dengan penemuan fotografi pada 1830an, kemungkinan menangkap peristiwa-peristiwa perang unyuk disebarkan ke publik pertama kali dieksplor.
