Afghanistan's Top War Photographer

Massoud Hossaini on the near death experience that won him the Pulitzer Prize

Massoud Hossaini is one of Afghanistan's most prolific photographers. He has gone to some of the most remote areas of the country and made it his mission to capture all aspects of Afghan life.
