Photographer Lee Craker spent three years in Baghdad as the lead
photographer for The United States Forces - Iraq Public Affairs
Office. Lee was the official photographer for such historic events
as President Barack Obama's surprise visit to the troops, Vice
President Biden's timely visits, the transition to Operation New
Dawn and many others. His lens captured rock stars, ordinary
American soldiers, television icons and average citizens, with
insight and passion, giving us a unique look at the Iraq
experience. - The Warrior Project began on May 20th, 2009 at 9:38
PM. A single light from doorway illuminated the side of a soldiers
face creating a dramatic profile. From that one photograph the
project was born. The intention of these photographs was to give
them as gifts to the soldiers and to create a personal project, a
visual record of some of the men and woman who served in Iraq.
Hundreds of images were made. In 2013 I was asked by the Imperial
War Museum in London to display a selection of these images, and in
doing so became the first American photographer to have work
displayed in the IWM. I offer these images not as a record of war,
but rather as individual portraits of soldiers that reveal how the
soldiers saw themselves, as Warriors.
