Inside the Surge — with Stills and Video

Posted By Scott Baradell On September 11, 2007 @ 5:10 am In Photojournalism | No Comments

Photographer Sean Smith of the U.K.’s Guardian newspaper has turned in a powerful series of reports, “Inside the Surge,” ^[2] that illustrate the disillusionment of U.S. soldiers in Iraq. Smith’s videos also demonstrate how the profession of photojournalism ^[3] is evolving. Unfortunately, Smith’s reports, which combine video interviews with still images, have also caught the attention of Osama bin Laden, who misrepresents their contents ^[4] in his most recent propaganda video.
