Conflicts around the world remind us of the difficulties that photographers and videographers face in their professional undertakings. While the media and audiences are often “interested” in and “expect” graphic images—images of blood and dismemberment—from conflict zones as evidence of the goings-on, the events and pictures they take can have debilitating effects on those who have witnessed and taken images of the same. In Kenya, for example, the 2007/2008 post-election violence that claimed more than 1,300 lives following the disputed presidential vote of December 2007 is said to have had serious effects on the mental health of photographers and videographers. The Westgate attack on 21 September 2013, the Dusit Hotel complex attack on 21 March 2019, the Garissa University attack on 2 April 2015, and others are also reported to have affected those who witnessed and covered the events. Despite such concerns, the effects such work has on photographers and videographers are hardly documented or discussed. This phenomenological study thus examines the experiences of journalists who cover conflicts. It focuses on photographers and videographers working in the main media houses in Kenya, with attempts to understand the challenges the coverage of conflicts poses to them. It examines reports produced to support claims that journalists who have covered conflict suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a phenomenon hardly documented and acknowledged in Kenya.
