She has photographed all over the Middle East but not without trials. On assignment in 2011 for the NYTimes, she and her colleagues were kidnapped and abused in Libya. Through negotiations, she and her team were released after several days. Taking time to recover and be with loved ones, Lynsey has returned to conflict zones to continue her work. The photograph above shows a mother and a daughter on the side of a dirt road in Afghanistan. The daughter was in labor and on their way to the closest hospital when their vehicle broke down. While her husband was farther along the road seeking assistance, Lynsey and her team pulled over to talk to these women. Upon learning of their situation, they drove the family to the hospital and the daughter had a healthy delivery.
