Adam Ferguson, Afghanistan, 2009 I was one of the first on the scene. The Afghan security forces normally shut down a suicide bombing like this pretty quickly. I was able to get to the epicentre of the explosion. It was carnage, there were bodies, flames were coming out of the buildings. This woman was escorted out of the building and round this devastated street corner. As a photographer, you feel helpless. When I won a World Press award for this photograph, I felt sad. Alvaro Ybarra Zavala, Congo, November 2008 The situation was very tense – people were drunk and aggressive. When I got to the hotel, I showed the other photographers. I really hate this shot.
Lynsey Addario, Libya, March 2011 I had been in Libya for just over two weeks, shooting the insurgency. The first three days were very violent – I was punched in the face several times, groped nonstop. When we got out, I felt surprisingly OK. João Silva, Afghanistan, October 2010 Tom Stoddart, Sarajevo, 1992 It was unbearable. Canon Rumors. PetaPixel - Photography and Camera News, Reviews, and Inspiration.
