New Orleans photographer Jonathan Bachman was named a finalist for the 2017 Pulitzer Prize in Breaking News Photography this afternoon.

Bachman's Reuters photo of Baton Rouge police officers confronting protester Ieshia Evans in the aftermath of the shooting of Alton Sterling became iconic on social media (and seems to have inspired, at least in part, Pepsi's disastrous recent ad with Kendall Jenner).

Some of Bachman's earliest work in New Orleans was with Gambit; he photographed the New Orleans Saints for BestofNewOrleans.com for several years.?
