Manpreet Romana was at the right place at the right time.
On July 14, 2009, Romana was embedded with U.S. Marines in Afghanistan photographing soldiers and the lives of Afghans. He’d been with the brigade for five days, and was walking alongside soldiers for four hours when he saw a convoy of trucks coming the other way. He told a fellow journalist to stop so he could get a shot of the soldiers walking while the convoy passed them.
When the soldiers walked 30 meters ahead, he heard a blast and saw smoke through his Nikon D3.
“I heard a loud explosion,” Romana said, “probably the loudest explosion I will ever hear.”
He was the first photojournalist to shoot an improvised explosive device (IED) in wartime.
