Ukraine's War Through the Lens: Love, Loss and Duty
The powerful images that have encapsulated the war in Ukraine are more than just snapshots of conflict – they are moving accounts of those behind them. Photojournalists such as Vlada Liberov and Valeria Demenko have documented the human impact of the war on the front line and in civilian areas, capturing moments of loss, duty, and even joy. Their work provides a poignant reminder of the personal cost of war and the resilience of those who continue to document its effects.
- The emotional toll of documenting war's devastating scenes is palpable, as Vlada Liberov notes, "It's not something we talk about a lot with colleagues as it's painful." This sense of pain highlights the importance of these photojournalists' work in providing a voice for those often silenced by conflict.
