Marcus Yam Ukraine-based journalist on ‘a dignified way to photograph these horrific scenes’

“I try not to photograph their faces … if at all possible. I just feel like there always has to be a dignified way to photograph these horrific scenes without possibly traumatising their loved ones who could see this. But also remembering that these are the reality of wars. Americans and the world need to see the horrors of this violent chaos. I feel like if we saw this, we would understand and not be so quick to wage war.”—Marcus Yam
