Being a combat photographer means putting yourself in danger every day on the job. Army Specialist Hilda Clayton was doing her job in Afghanistan, documenting a live fire training exercise in July of 2013. However, something went wrong during the exercise and a mortar tube exploded, unplanned. Clayton was killed just seconds after taking this photo, along with four soldiers of the Afghan National Army.
