The article presents an attempt to define the term «military photography» as a genre of photojournalism. The article considers the role and significance of military photography in the modern information space in the context of the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war as an element of visual design of texts and one of the important documents of war crimes recording. The relevance of the publication lies in the fact that armed conflicts, local military unrest, or full-scale wars have long been of interest to the audience in terms of visualizing their course.

Formulation of the problem. The role of a military journalist in wartime is the collection and operational transmission of information on the situation at the front. A journalist is not a military one, he should not take part in the war. The aim of the study. Every year, the need for professionally trained military journalists is growing. In the context of conducting hostilities in many parts of the world, the information space suffers from false war and information warfare. Also, the lack of qualified journalists is the reason for the lack of objective and operational information.
