Photography legend!

What an absolute genius of a photographer. To compose his images and pack them with so much meaning in difficult environments, that is a gift.
People reading this, if you know some other great photojournalists like him, please do comment here, so I can find out about them too. -
the "sound" at 21:54 is NOT HIGH ENOUGH !!! can you put the volume still higher ?!

hayatımda soluksuz izlediğim en iyi savaş fotoğrafçısı belgeseliydi...

This photographer is the best of all because through his videos, we have feelings like pity or sorrow for the families of those who lost a loved one in their eyes, it sensitizes us and makes us understand that murderers are not only spread terror but they also tear families.

The photographer shows the world like he is, and the photography has real impact on the world because the photographer contrary to politicians, he goes on the field and is respected.
The journalism is a job serious because he gives the people a voice in the world.
It's a very good reportage and very interessant. -
This video is moved,it reflects the reality. It shows to the world the real war photographer job's difficulties. And the photos journalists talks sincerely about their feelings, their goal, and their way to show what is happening in a war without any words. However, the video is a little bit monotonous, and they should talk a bit more about their job's danger. In my opinion, their job is really difficult and they take risks to show everyone what's happening in the world.

Hi ! Nachtney, the photographer respects people and their situation. Photos denounce a war'horrors and the injustice of this war. This war killed innocent and the war did to flow much of blood. People accept the presence of the photographer because he shows what is happening to them. It's very interesting because he shows emotions and feelings of people even if it's difficult to him because people are in mourning so they are sadness. This work is great because he shows reality. Thank you for this work ! -
We're all posting comments about how terrible is the war but we don't do anything to change it. Why can't we just stop it? I feel so powerless faced with such injustice. Thanks to this photographer for his inspiring work, thanks to him to show us what's happening to them. Photographer isn't just a job which permit to travel all around the world, he has to retranscribe emotions. When i see this report for the first time, i feel so sad for the victims, and for victims families.. [Clemlauanel]

Nachtwey is a very good photographer because his pictures are very interesting to describe the others cultures, the politic situation and the world conflicts to understand this war. This video is to realize war's horrors: the number of victims and to understand the injustice of this war. But Nachtwey's pictures are very depressing because he has a boring voice and in the war: death,blood are everywhere.

This video is in the same times very interesting and boring. It's interesting because the photographers show the war and conflits that they are around the world . He show differents aspect of the war . He doesn't speak of political and he express his feelings through his pictures. However this video is boring because he's got a boring voice ,which to not render the document, then this video his boring because the explications of the photographers it is so long and slow

It is true that the video has an interest because people can't express their feelings and problems. So the journalist goal is to show and tell to all the world what is happening in war country. But it is difficult from local people to be interviewed, they accept journalists because they are respectful. What do journalists do to be respectuf ? It is difficult because they go in someone's house, and that's impossible when it is not the war. They do not moove too fast, they are opened and talk with local people and they accept the journalist to take photos.

Hello everybody! We think that this documentary in which we are given two war photographers is very interesting! They use photography to denounce the violence experienced by people in foreign countries at war. Furthermore we think too that this man James Natchwey is admirable by the respect that he has towards them. It is important to warn people of the world from the horrors created during these wars. This video is very emotional when we discover these truths as this man who passionately explains his job who is little known. Here is our opinion about Nachtwey and his job. Good bye!

Hi! I think photographer is a great job and it is necessary to show of the rest of the world the truth of world conflicts, so we can thank the photographers to take this pictures of reality. For Nachtwey, that looks hard to see the detress of people and can help them only with pictures... James is a very good person because he respects the other people and I find that is good that he creates complicity between people and him. And you, what do you think about him?
