I took this from a helicopter
after the storm in New York
as we flew over Manhattan. It was essentially the water that knocked out the power. I thought it was important to show it in that way – it made us realise how fragile we are against nature and water. Photograph: Iwan Baan
The ¬situation was quite strange: the creaking of isted metal
the debris after the tornado
and everything closed and empty. It was so bleak. I exchanged a few words with the man in the picture; he said that they had lost everything. Photograph: Pedro Armestre
“Sometimes you have to go up really high to see how small you are.” On his way down
he broke the sound barrier
at one point travelling at 833.9 miles an hour. Photograph: Red Bull Stratos
“有时你必须上升地足够高才能看到你自己是多么的渺小。”在跳下来的途中，他打破了声音障碍，一度以833.9英里每小时的速度降落。摄影：Red Bull Stratos
The horses are not scared – or at least they don’t look scared. They are kept wet so they don’t catch fire. While I was ¬shooting I saw the horse was going to go straight through the fire
and I knew the -moment was good and it would make a great image. He looks so brave. Photograph: Jasper Juinen
I like it because it’s the story of those three athletes. I think you can see the relief in their faces
after the ¬effort. It’s the emotional side of sport. Photograph: Olivier Morin
This was shot at the end of Obama’s speech during the election night party – you can see the confetti ing down. The crowd were mesmerised by his words. Photograph: Matthew Rourke
It is hard to keep political photographs interesting. I took this when Michelle Obama had just introduced the president at a campaign event in Iowa. It shows a personal side of them that you don’t get to see very often
but this ¬embrace seemed very genuine and real to me. Photograph: Jim Watson
I took this picture in February this year. I had been working on a project about Afghan women’s poetry and was trying to find images that were not the usual misery pictures of women in Afghanistan. Photograph: Seamus Murphy
