Two qualities make his photographs stand out from the meta-work on Iraq: his unflinching gaze that doesn\u2019t shy from the most gruesome of scenes and his lack of preconceived ideas about what war \u2018should\u2019 look like. This results in an extraordinary body of work from abandoned playgrounds, desert battlefields and overstretched emergency rooms in Baghdad hospitals; among the injured children, the wounded soldiers, a single image of a horrifically burnt man is unforgettable. |<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">Read Max Houghton&#8217;s interview with Christoph Bangert in the new issue of 8 magazine, out in April.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=270:iraq-the-space-between&amp;catid=53&amp;Itemid=175\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/iraq.jpg\" class=\"review_photo\" alt=\"Iraq - The Space Between\" title=\"Iraq - The Space Between\" align=\"left\" border=\"0\" height=\"200\" width=\"200\" \/><\/a><strong>Christoph Bangert<\/strong> had barely finished studying photography when the New York Times sent him on his first assignment, to cover the war in Iraq&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"content\/view\/270\/175\/\"><br \/> <\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":305,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Iraq - The Space Between - FOTO8<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foto8.com\/live\/iraq-the-space-between\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Iraq - The Space Between - FOTO8\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Christoph Bangert had barely finished studying photography when the New York Times sent him on his first assignment, to cover the war in Iraq....\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.foto8.com\/live\/iraq-the-space-between\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"FOTO8\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Foto8\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2007-12-03T07:10:56+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/iraq.jpg?fit=470%2C321&ssl=1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"470\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"321\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jon\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jon\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.foto8.com\/live\/iraq-the-space-between\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.foto8.com\/live\/iraq-the-space-between\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Jon\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.foto8.com\/live\/#\/schema\/person\/52655249f7e3f6eff4e0fe2540d65137\"},\"headline\":\"Iraq &#8211;
