working title : picturing war
When a warphotographer is questioned regarding the fate of a girlsoldier in her prizewinning photo, she must find out what happened to the girl, or risk losing both her professional reputation and her mind. //Anya

I like that you describe what she must do or “else”. You make it pretty clear what will happen and i can somewhat see the whole story which is super! Might want to add what she must do, spirtually or as we call it “the journey” to reach her goals! Overall it is a 4/5- would see on cinema! /hugo
Hi
I think it’s credible to have a photographer want to know what happened to the subject of her prize winning photo but I’m not sure why she would need to discover this to retain her credibility – photographers in these environments often don’t know their subjects – I’m not sure if there would be an expectation to either.
If however it was the case that the subject of her photo needed help and the photographer didn’t provide it – choosing art of humanity – I could see why people might question their integrity. I believe there was a prize winning photographer who commited suicide after being criticised for taking a photo of a young boy being attacked in the wild rather than intervening and helping.
Maybe up the stakes. Who is threatening your photographer/making them obsess over the subject of the photo and why? You may already have this as the story – if so, reflect it in your logline.
good luck.
