Being a photographer in a war-zone is extremely dangerous, especially for an amateur photographer. It’s important to look out for yourself, even when working as a professional photographer.
In order to keep safe, you need to be very vigilant and follow a few simple rules. The following list provides you with a few tips you can follow to stay safe and avoid being captured in a compromising situation.
Always be cautious when photographing people in general in the war-zone. A photo of a child wearing a suicide vest is always a great example of this. Remember, people in the war-zone usually have limited privacy, so they might not be very familiar with your work. If they do know you, they will almost certainly be looking for an excuse to run away from you.
