Warren Zinn Photography

Warren Zinn completed multiple tours in Iraq as a photojournalist, capturing U.S. troops and Iraqi civilians caught in the chaos of invasion and occupation. Embedded with the famed 7th Cavalry during the initial assault, he witnessed some of the war’s fiercest combat. His most enduring image shows Army medic Joseph Dwyer carrying a wounded Iraqi child to safety — a photograph that came to symbolize both the compassion and the burden of soldiers in war. Zinn later returned to find the boy in that photograph, continuing the story and revealing the lasting human cost of the conflict.
