I was just messing about when I created this.

Conflict photography

I will be writing about conflict photography and the resistance that takes place in this turn of events.

After researching the topic area and viewing the photographs relating to it, I think the images are horrific and graphic.

These images have been produced to inform the public about the reality of life and what is going on around the world and the effects that it has on us.

I think doing this job would be quite disturbing because of the horrors and traumatic sufferings in the confrontational areas.

The photographer David Rochkind went to Mexico to investigate the high levels of drug dealings and war. More than 47,000 people have been killed in suspected drug-related violence in Mexico over the past six years, according to the country's attorney general.

Rochkind moved to Mexico City in 2008 to immerse himself in a four-year project on the consequences of the war on drugs.

According to Rochdale, These photographs attempt to move beyond simple depictions of carnage to explore the stress and tension that is left in the wake of such violence and illustrate how this conflict will impact and handicap Mexico’s future.”

According to the website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_photography, “Conflict photography is photography concentrated on destruction and war zone events and also poverty”.
