## Caption

Getty Images news photographer Carl Court has been on the ground covering the conflict in Iraq as joint forces battle to retake the city of #Mosul from ISIS. Today he is taking over gettyimages for a closer look at his coverage.

"One of the more difficult and challenging parts of covering a story like this is keeping up with events when you’re in the field and away from internet. It’s very difficult to know what else is going on, even in a nearby village. In this shot Peshmerga fighters gathered on a hill to watch others moving forward to the front line near Bashiqa. The atmosphere was quietly celebratory." - carl_court |October 20, 2016|#GettyImagesNews #PhotographerTakeover [1 of 6]
