Hetherington made several trips to Afghanistan in 2007 and 2008 with writer Sebastian Junger, on assignment for ''Vanity Fair''. They were embedded with a single U.S. Army platoon (Second Platoon, B Company, 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team) serving at a remote outpost in the Korengal Valley.

In 2010 he directed the short film ''Diary'':<blockquote>''Diary'' is a highly personal and experimental film that expresses the subjective experience of my work, and was made as an attempt to locate myself after ten years of reporting. It's a kaleidoscope of images that link our western reality to the seemingly distant worlds we see in the media.<ref>[http://vimeo.com/timhetherington "Tim Hetherington's channel at Vimeo"].</ref></blockquote>
==Death== In a June 2010 interview for ''The New York Times'', when asked by photojournalist Michael Kamber about ''Infidel'', the book he did with Chris Boot that was about to be published, Hetherington commented on the level of danger he encountered when working on it:<ref>{{cite web|url=http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/06/22/behind-44|title=''Restrepo'' and the Imagery of War|work=Lens (blog)|first=Michael|last=Kamber|date=22 June 2010|publisher=The New York Times|access-date=25 April 2011}}</ref><blockquote>The first time I went to Afghanistan, in 2007, the world was very much focused on Iraq. People had forgotten – and now we have come to accept – that the Afghan war was going out of control. When I got to the Korangal Valley, and there was lots of fighting going on, it completely surprised me. I was gobsmacked. At the end of October 2007, 70 percent of American bombs being dropped were in that valley, and the casualty rate was at 25 percent wounded. So the images I made were very action oriented. Photojournalism. Reminiscent of classical war photography. I did that because I wanted people to see that there was a lot of fighting going on. Anyway, I go back and the fighting sort of bored me. Because when you are in a lot of combat after a while, a lot of it – you know? If you are inside a base that's being attacked, like ''Restrepo'' was, you are in a fairly good position. The likelihood of you being killed was pretty low, unless they put a mortar on you.</blockquote>
