The development of the internet, social media and digital technology presents new challenges and opportunities for photographers who take war as their subject. This talk examines these technological developments and their impact on war photography of some of the most recent conflicts, and will feature some of IWM’s photographic acquisitions of twentieth-first century conflict
Head Curator Hilary Roberts will be joined in this talk by special guest British Army photographer Steve Blake, who will show some of his most recent work from Afghanistan.
Steve Blake is a professional Army photographer with the Royal Logistic Corps. A trained soldier as well as a photographer, Steve joined the Army in 1998. He served for ten years as a Royal Signals telecommunications operator, before retraining as a professional photographer. Since then his work has appeared regularly in the national and regional press. Over the last two years Steve has deployed regularly to Afghanistan during which time he also wrote a popular blog.
