Balog compares his drive to document this conflict to the one combat photographers feel. “The biggest [motivation] is the sense of being at this decisive moment of earth history and human history, and having the capabilities to bear witness to that. I’m very much motivated by that same ‘I’m here to bear witness’ impulse that moves guys like James Nachtwey.”
