Andrea Bruce Woodall doet verslag vanuit Irak

Washington Post photographer Andrea Bruce Woodall spent several weeks embedded with US forces in Iraq. A roadside bomb exploded five feet from her vehicle, injuring two soldiers in her convoy.

She shares a detailed account of her adventures in the Washington Post's Sunday magazine this week along with several of her photos.

Andrea started her career in print journalism but took to photojournalism during her senior year at the University of North Carolina. "After taking one photojournalism class, I fell in love with my camera," said Woodall. "My art history minor had already introduced me to the wonders of light. But exploring news visually, complementing word stories with pictures, and connecting with readers on a more emotional and empathetic level are the features that attracted me to changing my future to photography."

After several internships, she landed her first staff job at the Concord Monitor in New Hampshire. A brief stint at the St. Petersburg Times then led to an offer at The Washington Post. In February 2003, Andrea was named Photographer of the Year by the White House News Photographers' Association.
