About
Ukrainian Photographers Witness War in Ukraine

The Information Front began in the first weeks of Russia's full-scale invasion as a DIY publishing collective. We wanted to ensure that the war was seen through the eyes of those living through it: Ukrainian photographers themselves. Publishing became a way to get their work into circulation, sustain attention to the war, and provide direct support to those documenting it.
The first volume appeared as a newspaper, documenting the invasion's opening months. Subsequent editions expanded the perspective, exploring Ukraine's long struggle for freedom and identity, and bringing together photographers from different generations. Three volumes and a special supplement for Financial Times Magazine have since become part of this growing publishing effort. All Volumes of The Information Front act as symbols and instruments of resistance aginst war and colonial politics.
The Information Front believes that photography plays a crucial role in learning about the violence inflicted in Ukraine by Russia’s war of aggression, while also amplifying the power of photography to help shape society.
We see these publications as both symbols and instruments of resistance, keeping the war visible while helping those who photograph it continue their work.
All profit from the sales of The Information Front goes to support the necessary work of independent media in Ukraine by directly funding the photographers themselves.
