Richard Mosse is currently traveling across the Eastern Congo, photographing conflict and gaining access many a documentary photography could only dream of. However his photographs are all shot using Infrared film. In an attempt to question the very nature of documentary photography, Mosse has ruffled a few serious feathers.
However to me, in a Post Modern world, we are often bombarded with similar images that begin to become caricatures of themselves. Mosse's work in turn makes you stand back, rethink and reaffirm your views.
