With all of the recent turmoil that countries have experienced around the world, we have seen a plethora of images from photojournalists that depict conflict, combat, and different aspects of warfare. It is understood that these men and women behind the lens put their lives in danger on the daily to capture these historic and specific moments on film, but has anyone ever wondered whether or not some of the images you see are true to what really occurred?
In the video above, Italian student and photographer Ruben Salvadori challenges the idea of photographers being present for brutal scenes of fighting, alluding to the fact that photographers and photojournalists alike have the ability to significantly alter the way a moment is perceived by viewers and whether or not the man or woman behind the shutter is really in the midst of action.
