“Light During Wartime: The Combat
Photography of Stacy Pearsall” National Veterans Memorial and Museum Columbus
(888) 987-6866 • nationalvmm.org
The American photographic record of war dates back to the Civil War and the searing images Mathew Brady took in the aftermath of battle. These photographs and those from subsequent wars brought Americans and the world a crucial record of events and a profoundly human dimension to the experience of combat.
It was not until World War II that combat photography units became formalized in the military. Stacy Pearsall is part of this lineage of service members who have trained, served and, in their role as combat photographers, have shed light on what life during war is really like.
Of her 10-year career, Pearsall served six years in the
Air Force 1st Combat Camera Squadron. Her first combat deployment was to Iraq in 2003, followed by a series of assignments that included the Horn of Africa, the Middle East, the Arabian Peninsula and return trips to Iraq. She retired from service in 2008 after being wounded in combat.
This selection of photographs showcases Pearsall’s painterly use of light and shadow as she follows U.S. military troops on missions and portrays moments of action as well as another aspect of the combat experience — the in-between moments of camaraderie, rest and reflection.
