I think everybody accepts these things and I don?t think people would be horrified ? it would actually be a very useful voice, certainly to the RAF?s photographic community, and maybe also to the Armed Services in general.?<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on this year?s entries, fellow judge Eric Jenkins, from the British Institute of Professional Photography, added: ?The only thing that?s missing is some of the more-sensitive images, which have a very important role to play within information communication, but don?t necessarily make wonderful display images.? <\/p>\n<p>An image snapped from the backseat of a Typhoon fighter jet won this year?s competition. <\/p>\n<p>The photograph, called &#8216;Behind Enemy Lines&#8217;, was captured by SAC Mark Dixon and voted RAF Public Relations Image of the Year.<\/p>\n<p>Picture: Crown Copyright 2007<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2007\/10\/lowresRAF11.jpg\" alt=\"RAF Photographic Awards \/&gt;\"><\/img><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Armed Forces should not be afraid to show the sensitive side of the jobs done by service men and women, according to judges in this year\u2019s RAF Photographic Awards.<br \/>\nPicture: Crown Copyright 2007<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":324,"featured_media":27060,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[],"product-category":[],"class_list":["post-27059","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-photo-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v26.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Reuters: Armed Forces should show sensitive side - Amateur Photographer<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Armed Forces should not be afraid to show the sensitive side of the jobs done by service men and women, according to judges in this year\u2019s RAF Photographic Awards.
