I saw this photo in a book of US Navy photos from WWII. The caption said the seaman taking the photo was killed by the concussion of the bomb.

Eric Hammel, in Carrier Crash (Chapt. 31), identified the photographer as PhoM3 (Photographers Mate 3rd class) Robert Read: "Read ... was standing tall in an exposed vantage point on the island as he followed the thired bomb in his viewfinder all the way to impact. Read got his superb shot, but shrapnel from the blast killed him."
