When I enlisted in the military ten years ago, I had no guidance or mentors involved in the process. Although I do not regret my path, I do wish I would have known all of my options. I didn't know there were camera careers until I had been in for almost five years. I receive messages weekly about my career path and how to join a combat camera unit. I'll share below my journey to COMCAM and resources to help the next generation make more informed decisions.

Corban was assigned to document humanitarian relief efforts in Beira, Mozambique following deadly Cyclone Idai that left millions hungry, sick and displaced in March 2019. While waiting for flight clearances in Maputo, he captured in-camera double exposures of the maintenance airmen who kept the planes flying during the humanitarian aid airlift.
His goal was to create a portrait collection to highlight both the aircraft and the faces of the hard-working men and women working tirelessly to deliver aid. |
