When the Swiss photographers Mathias Braschler and Monika Fischer took a six-month road trip across the United States for their portrait series “About Americans,” it was a journey through a foreign land. Sort of.

The Magnum Foundation Emergency Fund today announces, exclusively through LightBox, the winners of its 2013 grants. The fund, which began in 2009, awards annual grants to photographers from around the world to support anticipatory work that sheds light on under-reported issues and communities.
This year’s winner is the one they give the most difficult jobs to… the Missions Impossible. I’m not talking about war zones or active volcanoes, but the topics that are both important but so seemingly impossible to photograph that most of us wouldn’t know where to begin. And like a good spy, our winner does not look anything like Tom Cruise or Matt Damon. And the assignments are not to gain state secrets, but to reveal matters of heart, spirit, and soul. Our winner is one of those people who is assiduously understated, does meticulous research, and enters the subject’s world with extraordinary depth of compassion. The pictures this photographer takes are the slippery pictures of ephemeral moments and framed in a way that, to be perfectly honest, would even elude almost everyone in this room.

“The Italian-born Longari’s pictures from across the Middle East in 2012, from Egypt and the West Bank to Gaza and Syria, were at-once unflinching and authoritative. The unspeakable anguish in the face of a Palestinian mother holding her lifeless daughter, killed in an Israeli air strike; the passion evinced by thousands of Egyptian Christians praying for their ancient homeland; a Syrian man engaged in the most quotidian of tasks — carrying groceries — and yet hunched against a sniper’s bullet that might, at any second, take his life; the deceptively idyllic scene of a boy tending to his horse in Gaza City: in quiet moments and in terrifying, violent environments, Longari made picture after picture this year that mattered”

In collaboration with publisher Kehrer Verlag in Germany, we are pleased to be publishing the work of Mila Teshaieva. Her Critical Mass series “Promising Waters” looks at the realities of people living along the Caspian Sea in Azerbaijan, Kasakhstan and Turkmenistan – countries establishing themselves as independent nations post-Soviet rule. Possessing vast oil and gas resources, the new, yet-to-be-defined identity of these countries clashes with the traditional – and Mila documents this clash with images of communities stuck in isolation and altered landscapes.

Once again we are upon the photography contest season. And every year I hear photographers ask “Do photo contests matter?” In the opinion of this photo editor, they do! But just don’t take my word for it; here are what some prominent industry professionals think about the value of contests and what you can do to assure your entries are seen in the best light.

This project came together over several trips to a dozen villages in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It depicts a day in the life of the Bantu villages and Batwa Pygmies in what was once known as French Equatorial Africa. I photograph the villagers standing before their huts, which I treat as a kind of stage . The result is a series of “African tableaux.”
