In the second work war, it was not unusual for photographer to go out into the dangerous situations and record the living life of thousand of soldiers, families and businesses.

Looking into documenting the world war 2, i decided to look onto the Internet and this is what i came across. 

Iconic documentary war Photographer Wayne Miller.

All photos above belong to Wayne Miller.

Wayne Miller was documentary photography who gathered as much photographs as he could have in  the second world war. He photographed anything that caught his attentions from boredom to horror. 

Wayne Miller photographed the human conditions in both the best and worst states, this shows their mankind and how they are surviving. When Miller started photographing after he left the arm, he was back on the front lines again photographing; photographing the horror of the war. 

Miller work was unique and was different from anyone else, what made this happened was that in 

his work he strove to climb inside those people, and look through their eyes.
