How many war photographers have died?

Do combat photographers carry weapons?
Combat photographers film the gamut of military operations – humanitarian missions, training exercises and combat – according to the needs of commanding officers. The photographers undergo weapons, survival and customs training. They also carry weapons alongside their photo equipment.
Are war photographers armed?
War photography involves photographing armed conflict and its effects on people and places. Photographers who participate in this genre may find themselves placed in harm’s way, and are sometimes killed trying to get their pictures out of the war arena.
Do photographs always provide the truth?
Photographs don’t lie. All photographs present a truth: their makers’. The issue is not whether or not that truth has any relation to the Truth. The issue is, instead, what photographs tell us about our own truths, about those beliefs that we take for so granted, that we stick to so obsessively, weighing what we see.
Can photographers lie?
Photography is and has always been, a lie. In fact, human vision is a lie. So, in fact, photography as well as our vision, lie by the process of elimination. They do not represent exactly what is in front of us, but just a very selective part.
Can photography present authenticity of reality?
As a result, no photograph image can accurately portray what the viewer would, could, or should have seen at the time of the original event. Viewers typically believe that they are seeing reality, so the effect is immediate and direct.
