Photography captures the stills of war; it can freeze and hold that one moment of conflict. One of the 1st war photographers was Roger Fenton, he took still images of the Crimean war, which was difficult with the bulky technology of the time, they could still not yet take moving objects with cameras.
Photography is a more realistic take on war, I believe because it’s taken at the time, unlike a painting or drawing.
We have advanced in the technology of cameras which means that more and more images are being taken, we have more understanding of the destruction of war, cameras are becoming very portable, even the use of iPhones has changed how we view war.
Things also like aerial photography; we can get a better view, different angles.
