While watching Channel 4 news last week i was lucky enough to see them tell the story of, and show the images taken by the documentary photographer Seamus Murphy.
An amazing story of the photographer who followed a Afghan family documenting their everyday lives during the war in Afghanistan.
After seeing this on the news I went on to find the online article and images on channel 4's website.
"Afghanistan war: the sons of Stonecutter Street"

I chose to print screen some of the images from the article with the writing by the photographer below as i think they are amazing photographs alone, but they begin to have so much more meaning when you're able to hear the moving story behind the images and what the photographers aims and intentions were when capturing them.
An amazing take on documentary war photography in my opinion, as this shows the other more unknown side to war, the story of a family during these difficult times in the country. Something which we wouldn't be exposed to through normal media such as the news.
