I’m not part of the industry, but I am highly inspired by work of many conflict photographers. I would recommend you checking out Christopher Morris on Instagram and vii foundation website. He’s a pretty famous conflict photographer, and covered many conflicts in the 90s and 2000s. He was sharing a lot of insights into many aspects of his work on Instagram recently ( check comments, he was replying to many questions people had, shared many stories etc). You can also find videos on how he’s opening up his film archive from Chechen war and telling stories how photographs were shot etc.

While the logistics of conflict photography are probably different now, the horror one encounters there is the same.
I don’t do any kind of documentary or journalist photography, so writing about my photographs is very personal and I keep it to myself in a form of a journal. It’s mostly my own emotions at the time of taking or editing a photograph. I find it very interesting to go back to my older entries and read what i wrote. Sometimes I’m surprised with what i wrote, because I might not see the photo in the same way anymore. I don’t do that with every photograph though, only the ones that i feel a strong emotional connection with.
