In 1963 a group of Black photographers based in New York came together in the spirit of friendship and exchange and chose the name Kamoinge—meaning “a group of people acting together” in Gikuyu, the language of the Kikuyu people of Kenya—to reflect the essential ideal of the collective. This November, the Whitney opened Working Together: The Photographers of the Kamoinge Workshop, a groundbreaking exhibition featuring over 150 photographs by fourteen early members of the Kamoinge Workshop, nine of whom are living and working today.

Today we present the work of Tito Mouraz, a Portuguese photographer from the interior north of the country. He too, enjoys to photographically approach the themes of landscape, memory, myth and nature. The first major work in Tito Mouraz’s career was Open Space Office, about the exploration of nature’s possibilities by humans, and the radical transformation it operates in the landscape. Developed in Portugal’s marble quarries during three years, it reveals a paradox, in the sense that while human interventions in nature can lead to unprecedented destruction, they can also create beautiful images. A comforting idea, that it is still possible to find poetry in destruction. He approaches many of the primordial elements that are apparently constitutive of a particular gaze from the region. In Open Space Office, I am particularly drawn to the image where one can notice a crack in one of the walls. Not coincidentally, a few years later the collapse of a marble quarry in Portugal raised questions on the safety of such places.

Photography shines brightest when we are moved by it or it reveals something to us that we may have never seen before. We believe this selection of extraordinary photographs from the past year radiates that light.

As professional photography editors, we are accustomed to seeing a little bit of everything: war, famine, fires, hurricanes, politics, suffering, beauty, silliness and sometimes joy. This year was different. Photography, and photojournalism in particular, is regarded as a medium of reality. Reality became surreal this year and with it, photojournalism. Photography shines brightest when we are moved by it or it reveals something to us that we may have never seen before. We believe this selection of extraordinary photographs from the past year radiates that light. — the Washington Post Photography Team
In a world where life changed seemingly overnight, photographers transformed how they worked, trading intimacy for distance. This is what they captured.

The photographs in this collection capture those historic 12 months. Jeffrey Henson Scales, who edited The Year in Pictures with David Furst, said he had never felt such sweep and emotion from a single year’s images — from the “joy and optimism” of a New Year’s Eve kiss in Times Square, to angry crowds on the streets of Hong Kong and in American cities, to scenes of painful debates over race and policing, to the “seemingly countless graves and coffins across the globe.”

As we approach the end of a year unlike any other in recent memory, here is a look back at some of the major news events and moments of 2020. The coronavirus pandemic took center stage worldwide, disrupting societies, sickening tens of millions, and killing more than 1.5 million people. In June, widespread protests against racial injustice and policy brutality erupted after the Minneapolis police killed George Floyd. In the U.S., political and cultural clashes took place in the streets, on the airwaves, and across social media during a tumultuous presidential-election year. California suffered one of its worst wildfire seasons in modern history, and so much more. Here, we present the top 25 news photos of 2020. Be sure to check back throughout the week for more comprehensive stories, presented as “2020: The Year in Photos, Parts 1-3.”

Ryan Debolski’s series, LIKE, explores the physical and digital relationships of the migrant workers who build the infrastructure of Oman, a rapidly modernizing country rich in oil and natural gas. These men, predominantly from East Africa and the Indian subcontinent, communicate using widely available, low-cost smartphones that help them cope with the social isolation they face while living in camps for years. As quickly as new friends are made, others disappear without a trace, never to be heard from again: workers are deported for various reasons, or shuffled around to different camps throughout the region.

I am very proud to introduce Misha Vallejo‘s work today. He comes from my very own country, Ecuador. With intimacy and humanity, he has portrayed Sarayaku, the guardians of the Amazon. He has shown me and many others, that everyone’s life is connected to an important environmental reality and that caring is the only answer. Secret Sarayaku is currently on display at the Centre of Contemporary Arts in Quito.
