4. Huynh Cong Ut is a press associated war photographer, famous for taking shocking pictures in the Vietnam.
The first picture on the left is one of the most iconic war photographs of all time; it features young children
running away from their village that has been hit with a napalm strike by the US air force. The photo on the
right is a landscape image of a napalm strike with villagers watching.
These photographs are both created purely with the intent to document shocking images to the world. The
Vietnam war was perhaps the most document war in history; Photos like this and others from photographers
such as Horst Faas sparked the hippie protests in the US, and eventually led to the US pulling out of the
Vietnam war.
The most famous version of the photo on the left is a cropped version cutting out the soldier showing the girl,
the image shown in this document has been cropped; the original image has more soldiers to the right and
some extra scenery. The body language of the soldiers is really intriguing to the storytelling of this image; the
soldiers that have been cropped seem unbothered by the horror that is going on around them, one is playing
with his camera while stood next to the girl that is covered in napalm. There is a clear juxtaposition of the
horror on the children’s faces and the calmness of the soldiers around her.
Both of these two pictures are taken in black and white due to the technology of the time, the girl is the focus
on the image in the left; she is in the centre of the frame. The photo on the right focuses on both the explosion
and the reaction of the people.
