A few days ago, I wrote an article for a German newspaper about THAT Trump picture. Given the typical length of such opinion pieces, there were a few strands that I was only able to allude to. They would benefit from a longer discussion. That’s what I want to be doing here.
Till Brönner is not only a multi-talented musician and photographer, his work also covers a surprising diversity of photographic genres. The Melting Pott exhibition project, launched five years ago in Duisburg, was composed of photographs taken in Germany’s Ruhr district
Three years after my first trip to Haiti, I realized there was another emotional note that had to be reckoned with: the intense, vibrant color of these worlds. Searing light and intense color seemed somehow embedded in the cultures that I had begun working in, so utterly different than the gray-brown reticence of my New England background. Since then, I have worked predominantly in color

“We’re working our asses off before the shoot, during the shoot, and then to edit after and we put so much effort into it because we care about the image,” says the anonymous photographer.
That might be the expectation. But the actual results are more nuanced. It turns out that Haitians can hold their own with Gilden’s camera. In photo after photo they stand their ground, glare back, and claim dignified self-possession. They’re a force for his lens to reckon with, even more so than New Yorkers.

The scientists say that when a camera operator appears on screen, it “detracts from critical game moments” and could lead to “revenue losses for broadcasters because of viewer dissatisfaction.”
A member of the Washington press corps, Doug Mills, captured one of the bullets that flew past Trump’s head during the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania last night.
Few, if any, journalists’ names have appeared in this newsletter as often as Evan Vucci. He is the Associated Press photographer based in Washington, D.C., who has been photographing Trump for years. Whenever a photo of Trump has appeared in this newsletter, it was more than likely taken by Vucci.
Published by Trespasser, Agnieszka Sosnowska’s debut monograph, För, is a coming-of-age story about relocating a remote corner of Iceland, which introduces us to her students, showcases her farm, and captures the passage of time as she and her husband age over two decades. As SFMOMA’s Assistant Curator of Photography Shana Lopes writes, Sosnowska invites us to rethink how labour, heartbreak, death, landscape, and the quotidian contribute to an idea of home.

Having just spent the first week of July at the opening round of this year’s Rencontres d’Arles (the 55th edition running from July 1st through September 29th), I can readily attest to a photographic feast that tends to overwhelm the senses with diverse photo exhibitions, installations, photo books, music and entertainment that lasts well into
This year’s theme, “Beneath the Surface” is a deeper probe of a number of underlying themes with a particular emphasis on the creativity and often under-representation of women photographers. The first major retrospective of Mary Ellen Mark since her death in 2015 presents a vast array of images reflecting the intense curiosity that defines her work. One can peruse her contact sheets as the exhibition follows her career through five distinct projects. Whether photographing the homeless or twins in many sizes and shapes, her images are always compelling in their honesty and compassion.

It’s with words heavy in pain that we write these lines. Jocelyn Manfredi, the unwavering pillar of Sipa Press and photojournalism, has left us. Jocelyn was a multiple exception. A woman in a world full of macho men, she juggled multiple conversations while watching the news, in various languages, still making you feel like you were the most important person in the world. She was always on, always meeting deadlines, always getting film in and photographers out, smiling and frowning at the same time.
