Between 1914 and 1918, military, press and amateur photographers
produced thousands of pictures. Either classified in military
archives specially created with this purpose in 1915, collected in
personal albums or circulated in illustrated magazines, photographs
were supposed to tell the story of the war. Picturing the Western
Front argues that photographic practices also shaped combatants and
civilians' war experiences. Doing photography (taking pictures,
posing for them, exhibiting, cataloguing and looking at them)
allowed combatants and civilians to make sense of what they were
living through. Photography mattered because it enabled combatants
and civilians to record events, establish or reinforce bonds with
one another, represent bodies, place people and events in
imaginative geographies and making things visible, while making
others, such as suicide, invisible. Photographic practices became,
thus, frames of experience. -- .
