Iraq | Perspectives by Benjamin Lowy. Benjamin Lowy is a freelance photographer based in Brooklyn, NY. From 2003-2008 Lowy went to Iraq and to photograph. He photographed the people in Iraq during the war and how people lived and show Iraq from the perspective a soldier. Benjamin Lowy made Iraq | Perspectives after a conversation he had with his mother. During the conversation his mother said she was surprised that Lowy had to constantly travel in armored vehicles and always be surrounded by soldiers. Lowy broke this book up into two parts. The first part is called windows. All these photos are taken through the window of the armored cars Lowy rode in. Lowy uses color and the frame of the window of the car to creates a detached and distant perspective. The photos and colors show a country that is empty and desolate and the windows act as a barrier between the viewer and the subject. The second part of the book is called Night Vision. This is where the use of color is more important and creates a specific mood. All these photos art taken through night vision goggles. All the photos are dark and green and give off this very tense, dangerous, and creepy mood. All the night photos are taken during raids by the soldiers. The photos show civilians tied up and blindfolded, scared civilians and anxious soldiers. However, without the green color of the night vision goggles, these photos would not have the same effect or mood. Iraq | Perspectives. Benjamin Lowy's powerful and arresting color photographs, taken over a six-year period through Humvee windows and military-issue night vision goggles, capture the desolation of a war-ravaged Iraq as well as the tension and anxiety of both U.S. soldiers and Iraqi civilians. To photograph on the streets unprotected was impossible for Lowy, so he made images that illuminate this difficulty by shooting photographs through the windows and goggles meant to help him, and soldiers, to see. In doing so he provides us with a new way of looking at the war-an entirely different framework for regarding and thinking about the everyday activities of Iraqis in a devastated landscape and the movements of soldiers on patrol, as well as the alarm and apprehension of nighttime raids. "Iraq was a land of blast walls and barbed wire fences. I made my first image of a concrete blast wall through the window of my armored car. These pictures show a fragment of Iraqi daily life taken by a transient passenger in a Humvee; yet they are a window to a world where work, play, tension, grief, survival, and everything in between are as familiar as the events of our own lives. . . . [In] the ‘Nightvision' images . . . as soldiers weave through the houses and bedrooms of civilians during nighttime military raids, they encounter the faces of their suspects as well as bystanders, many of whom are parents protecting their children. . . . I hope that these images provide the viewer with momentary illumination of the fear and desperation that is war."--Benjamin Lowy.

Perspective on Iraq. War photographer wins CDS/Honickman First Book Prize. Duke Magazine » Perspective on Iraq. June 01, 2011 | May - Jun 2011 issue. Benjamin Lowy, a war and feature photographer, has won the fifth Center for Documentary Studies/Honickman First Book Prize in Photography for a collection of photographs from six years of the Iraq War. He took the photographs with his camera pointed through Humvee windows or military-issue night-vision goggles. The prize includes a grant of $3,000 and publication of the photographer’s first book, which will be titled Iraq / Perspectives . It will be published in the fall by Duke University Press in association with CDS Books of the Center for Documentary Studies. After Lowy found it impossible to photograph on the streets unprotected, he decided to make images through Humvee windows, which emphasized his sense of detachment and the physical separation between American soldiers and Iraqi civilians. “The images are not intimate,” he says. “Metaphorically speaking, the windows represent a barrier that impedes dialogue. The pictures show a fragment of Iraqi daily life taken by a transient passenger in a Humvee.” To take the night-vision photographs, Lowy attached the goggles to his camera with duct tape, dental floss, or chewing gum. Among other things, he photographed soldiers as they entered houses and bedrooms of Iraqi civilians during nighttime raids. Color-photography pioneer William Eggleston judged the competition and chose Lowy to win the prize. Lowy’s photographs have appeared in numerous publications, including The New York Times Magazine , Time , Newsweek , Fortune , The New Yorker , Vanity Fair , and GQ . THE PHOTOGRAPHER.
