다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

With the rise of digital technology in contemporary society, war photography created using advanced techniques is generally presented in a more intuitive and impactful form, capturing the audience's attention and prompting reflection and contemplation on war. This study initiates an exploration into 21st-century war-related photographs, focusing on Pulitzer Prize-winning works, recognized as the epitome of prestige in the current U.S. press. With the aim of understanding the visual components present in these war news photographs, the research is grounded in the visual frame model proposed by Rodriguez and Dimitrova.
The objective is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the extracted war news photos, deciphering the characteristics of the visual elements depicted in the images, and engaging in an integrated discussion regarding the conscious forms adopted by photographers.
As a result, the main findings of this study are as follows: Firstly, the characteristics of the visual elements in 21st-century war photos primarily depict the realities of war in a concrete and vivid manner.
Moreover, these images emphasize specific elements to maximize the cruelty and negative impact of war, making them particularly striking. Secondly, the conscious forms that war photographers aimed to convey through their images mainly induced fear and sympathy among the public towards war, ultimately fostering opposition to war and a longing for peace. This research is expected to provide a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the field of war photography, contributing to the development and advancement of this area.
