This endeavor delves into the intricacies of eliciting moral imagination within audiences through the medium of war photojournalism. Employing a qualitative research paradigm characterized by semi-structured interviews, the study engages 18 seasoned photojournalists with extensive experience in conflict zones to elucidate the ethical and intellectual considerations that underpin their visual narratives. While acknowledging the subtle yet consequential role that technological shifts—from film to digital—play in the conveyance of their work, the principal focus remains the ways in which these visual compositions serve as instruments for catalyzing moral reflection and imaginative engagement among viewers. The overarching aim is to probe deeply into the symbiotic relationship between the photojournalists’ expressive intents and the moral receptivity of their audiences. This investigation seeks to unveil the mechanisms through which photographic images can serve as conduits for fostering ethical contemplation and expanding the boundaries of moral imagination.
