American photojournalist Michael Kamber covered the Iraq War for the "New York Times" from 2003 to 2012. He is also winner of the World Press Photo Award. In 

this interview he explains how important it is to him to provide an accurate insight into and a comprehensive historical documentation of the war. This picture gallery presents a small selection of photos from his time covering the war in Iraq.

 

This is a coloured photo of the war in Iraq. It shows an alone baby in the middle of the photo with dirty clothes. In the left we can see a military and behind the baby another military. The street are with some things broke and very poorly maintained.

The baby is alone and probably sad because he could have lost his family. I don’t want to be in the situation of the baby because feeling and being alone it’s a bad situation.

 

My photo is related to our specific topic because we select family separation and this baby it’s clear that he lost her family, and he and his family are 100% sad.

Lynsey Addario is an American photojournalist, who has been covering conflict and humanitarian crises around the Middle East and Africa on assignment for The New York Times, National Geographic Magazine, and Time Magazine for almost two decades. This is a coloured photo, and it was taken in 2006, in Liban.

 

In the middle of the photo, there is a woman, probably the mum of the little girl. The girl has a baby doll in his hands. In the foreground there is debris from the attack and the woman and the girl were probably left out of their home. We can also see 4 men walking through the street.

 

This photo transmit the devastating impact of conflict-induced family separation. Amidst the ruins of their home, the image portrays a mother and daughter, their connection fractured by war. The physical debris mirrors the emotional wreckage endured by families torn apart. The photo stands as a powerful reminder of the profound toll of conflict, leaving in its wake shattered homes, fractured relationships, and the enduring anguish of separation.

The boy might be abandoned. The stuffed toy may be a present from his parents.The boy’s house must be destroyed. The boy must be scared.

 

This photo is related to the family separation because now this boy can’t be with his parents. This topic instills a very sad sentiment because this boy lost the two most important persons of his life and he can’t do anything to recover him.

The title of this photo is Children of Puray. It’s a black and white photo. This photo was taken by Dennis Bautiolgasta. Dennis Bautista was a volunteer while taking part in an outreach program. It was taken in 2008 in Rinzal province of the Philippines. In 1969 starts a Islam conflict in the Philippines, the conflict  today continues but sometimes has more intensity.

 

In th be photo there are two children, they must be separated of their parents because they are alone and sad. They may be captive because they separated by what it seems like a spiked fence.

 

Our topic is family separation.   War makes us thinks about the deep reflection on the devastating impact this conflict has on families. This scene leads us to confront the heartbreaking reality of the forced separation of loved ones due to the violence and chaos that characterize war. The spiked fence not only represents the physical barrier separating the children but also the emotional and psychological barriers that arise as a result of the separation from their families.

This is a black and white photo. It was taken on January 1, 1966, during the Vietnam War by Horst Faas, a German war photojournalist . In this photograph, two children from South Vietnam look at a U.S. paratrooper holding an M79 grenade launcher while clinging to their mothers who huddle against a canal bank to shield themselves from Viet Cong sniper fire in the Bao Trai area. 

 

The children must be very scared. The soldier might be reflecting or he may be waiting for an enemy attack.The photographer's primary focus in the photo is the soldier holding the weapon, while the children look at him. The canal can’t be very full. The soldier must be very equipped meanwhile the children may be deprovisioned.

 

Our topic is family separation. In this photo, we can see children with their mothers. My initial thought is that their parents might be in combat, and there's a possibility that they may never see her sons and daughters again. The children may lose the most important people in their lives, their mothers, who would likely sacrifice everything to save their children. This situation can have devastating psychological consequences for individuals, especially for the children.
