Although mediated records and recorded mediations in equal measure, by turns repositories of information and vaults of testimony, aesthetic productions that alternately magnify and diffuse acts of war, dramatize and deflect them; it shows us the bare reality of our world.
Graphein Press Agency has professional photographers all around the globe risking their lives to shed light on news that matter.
Graphein's collection of crisis photos illustrates crises affecting human populations in the context of war. Crises may be sparked by various factors, such as economics, politics, or environment, but it is generally considered that a crisis results in a dangerous, unstable situation for the country or region involved. Graphein provides complete, non-bias coverage of crises, including relevant reactions at home and abroad, key events, and turning points in a given crisis. A recent example would be the crisis gripping Ukraine.
Since its early days Graphein's news feed includes armed conflict photos. The imagery globally spans from former Yugoslavia to Colombia, Afghanistan, and Somalia. Over the last few years, Graphein's armed conflict photos documented the situation in Darfur, Libya, and Mali as well as the civil war in Syria and the Mexican drug war. Our photojournalists provide you with an unbiased account of the situation showing combat scenes, ongoing negotiations as well as the impact on civilians.
Graphein provides images ranging from the beginning, through to the height and the possible resolutions of conflicts between opposing nations, parties, or interest groups. Conflicts photos show heart-breaking scenes of side-effects on human beings, picture endeavors to find diplomatic solutions, and also include graphic war-scenes. This category encompasses fresh political conflicts as well as long-simmering conflicts such as the one in Kashmir, highlighting the persistence of regional conflicts.
"For me, the strength of photography lies in its ability to evoke a sense of humanity. If war is an attempt to negate humanity, then photography can be perceived as the opposite of war and if it is used well it can be a powerful ingredient in the antidote to war."
