Manpreet Romana is the Creative Head of Outlook India and a photographer. In 2009, while he was working with the AFP, he was embedded with the US Marines in Afghanistan. One of his photographs—capturing a US Marine fleeing for his life during an improvised explosive device (IED) explosion—is believed to be the first time an IED explosion has been caught on camera. In an interview with Rani Jana, he talks about the moment he clicked the photograph, about being in the midst of gunfights and mine clearance drives, losing friends and colleagues and his experiences of being a photographer in a war-torn region.
