"Chronicles of Valor" is a photographic exploration capturing the essence of the American Military Museum, aiming to document and preserve the rich military heritage of the United States. Inspired by the impact of military history on American culture, this project uses photography to evoke a connection with historical moments, showcasing the evolution of military technology and the sacrifices of service members through detailed images of artifacts, expansive exhibit halls, and the solemn ambiance of the museum. Shot entirely at the American Military Museum using a DSLR with various lenses, the series employs techniques like long exposure and selective focus to bring out textures and historical ambiance, with color grading adjusted to reflect different eras. The objective is to educate and engage a broader audience, fostering appreciation for history, stimulating discussion on war and peace, and honoring military legacies, inviting viewers to reflect on the past and consider its implications for the future.
