Ashley Gilbertson is an award winning, Australian photographer who is best known for his photography of the Iraq war. Gilbertson worked on photo essays ranging from drug addiction in Melbourne, to war zones in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific. Gilbertson's photographs are very much eye catching as they give you a perspective of war that alot of people cannot see. We are given close up photographs of soldiers shooting and explosions going off that allow the viewers to gain an understanding of what war is truely like.
The following images are from Gilbertson's project titled
Iraq - Whiskey Tango Foxtrot which abbreviated is WTF.
