For the first time in my career I decided not to cover a major event. I’m seeing something more timeless and universal.

I was in Australia, working on a photographic project on the aftermath of the wildfires, and there was a moment when I realized that this pandemic was not being contained. It was spreading everywhere. My family was back in Switzerland, and I was playing these scenarios through my mind: Borders being closed. What if I get sick? What if I get stuck? What if my wife, Kathryn, gets sick, and I can’t reach her?

Best known for large format photographs of the post-industrial Chinese landscape, Zhang Kechun produces epic vistas that extol and underscore the significance of landscape in modern Chinese national identity. For this project, Kechun embarked on a journey along one of the country’s longest and most celebrated waterways, the Yellow River, considered the cradle of Chinese civilization, which has undergone drastic, and often destructive, transformation in the last hundred years. Initially Kechun envisioned his trip on the historic river as an experience to “find the root of my soul.”

“I point the camera at my subjects without warning,” writes Japanese photographer Hiroyuki Nakada. “My subjects are neither models nor actors, just ordinary citizens. I can’t help but feel excited seeing the horror somewhere in the depths of expressions on people’s faces in everyday life. Seeing them fulfills me. That is why I still devour them even today, like a hyena that has found its prey.” Nakada’s relocation to Shanghai from Japan in 1999 coincided with the purchase of a small Ricoh GR digital camera. The resulting pictures, compiled in a new book, Shanghai, reveal the curiosity of an outsider and the knowledge of an insider.

In 1995, artists Julian Germain, Patricia Azevedo and Murilo Godoy began working on No Olho da Rua (In the Eye of the Street) in the Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte. Their objective was to put cameras into the hands of street children, young people living chaotic lives on the margins of society who had rarely, if ever, been photographed or made pictures themselves. They envisioned not a regimented, overly supervised process, but to grant them the freedom to independently make their own pictures, of anything they wanted, where and when they chose. Fifty young people were given the most basic plastic point and shoot cameras and shown how to use them. From the outset they not only enjoyed enormous pleasure from photography, but also produced astonishing images. As a result, the project has continued ever since, albeit on a sporadic and occasional basis, depending on availability of resources.
