20 Days in Mariupol by Mstyslav Chernov traces the Russian siege of the port in harrowing detail. Here, he discusses his documentary with a fellow war reporter
It is a brave, visceral, merciless masterpiece. I’ll stake a claim, for what it’s worth: after decades of war reporting, and watching hundreds of films about war, there are few, if any, like this. Chernov’s film documents Russia’s shocking war crimes against Mariupol on a vast, epic scale, in counterpoint to detail so intimate it borders on unbearable, as it should.
Family pictures have changed a lot over the years. We used to go to the mall with our families, all dressed up, to pose for a formal portrait. But now, family pictures look more like a magazine shoot. You’re in a field somewhere, laughing, walking, playin
Jill McNamara began as a photojournalist, but, when she had kids, she began doing family photography — the kinds in fields with very carefully chosen, not-quite-matching family outfits.
“Found this out via this article, before getting notice from HR while I’m on my honeymoon,” he writes. “Of the photo dept members who received notice today, all are people of color, and if cut, the photo dept won’t have Spanish speakers.”
Yeah, I don’t have a strategy when I go out. I’ve learned over all these years that you can plan, but you can’t plan the outcome. You just say, I’m going out. You know, I’m going to go take a walk on Regent Street, or I’m going to go to Soho, or I’m going to go somewhere because I haven’t been there and I’d like to see what it feels like to me.
In 2022, an AI-generated work of art won the Colorado State Fair’s art competition. The artist, Jason Allen, had used Midjourney – a generative AI system
Should the artists whose art was scraped to train the models be compensated? Who owns the images that AI systems produce? Is the process of fine-tuning prompts for generative AI a form of authentic creative expression?

The prolific artist knows that contemporary Blackness, made and unmade on the stage of capitalism, is as much defined by its spiritual reckonings as it is by the elemental stuff.

Congratulations to Harvey Castro for being selected for CENTER’s Excellence in Multimedia Storytelling Award recognizing his project, Los Olvidados. The Excellence in Multimedia Storytelling Award recognizes outstanding storytellers using lens-based media
These stories are a powerful reminder of marginalized communities’ ongoing struggle in the wake of natural disasters. Their plight highlights how a lack of equity and representation leaves them without effective agency, struggling to survive and rebuild. It is essential to remember that natural disasters have a lasting impact, and we must provide support to ensure that communities can recover and thrive. By highlighting these stories, I hope to bring attention to the need for action and change in the face of climate-related disasters. – Harvey Castro
Israelis are forbidden from crossing the wall to Palestinian city centers, yet the Israeli photographer Ofir Berman has managed to find a way to her subjects, through Palestinian friends she met while working in a refugee camp in the Greek island of Leros. Once she got to know the stories of the people living in the West Bank, she says, “I wasn’t able to look back.” Berman has spent the past year frequenting both sides of the wall, documenting daily life in one of the most contested stretches of land in the world. Her lens captures the rhythms of men, women, and children who happen to be Israeli or Palestinian, of routines that appear strikingly similar for occupier and occupied
