    I’m not part of the industry, but I am highly inspired by work of many conflict photographers. I would recommend you checking out Christopher Morris on Instagram and vii foundation website. He’s a pretty famous conflict photographer, and covered many conflicts in the 90s and 2000s. He was sharing a lot of insights into many aspects of his work on Instagram recently ( check comments, he was replying to many questions people had, shared many stories etc). You can also find videos on how he’s opening up his film archive from Chechen war and telling stories how photographs were shot etc.

    While the logistics of conflict photography are probably different now, the horror one encounters there is the same.
