Saturated colours, intense light, happy people, blue seas, clouds: the Australian photographer won the 2002 LOBA for her lively picture series dedicated to beach life. Her complex compositions represent a great homage to the beauty of the Australian coastal landscape and convinced the jury, with their content and form, that the series best captured the competition’s theme of humanity’s relationship with the environment.

Mark Peterson’s images of a drive-in service at a Virginia Beach megachurch feel both wholly of this pandemic and wholly retro.

Honk once for “Amen,” twice for “Glory hallelujah”: those are the newest liturgical instructions for the Rock Church, an evangelical congregation in Virginia Beach. The megachurch normally gathers in an enormous auditorium that seats more than five thousand, but, as the coronavirus has limited the ability of congregations to come together physically, members began meeting instead in the parking lot, where drive-in services are taking the place of regular worship. The praise band and the pastor took to a temporary stage erected outside the building, while a local FM station offered the church airtime, so that congregants could tune in to the service, as if it were a drive-in movie. The photographer Mark Peterson captured one of those services the week before Palm Sunday, beginning when ushers helped orchestrate the parking of cars and continuing until the parishioners dropped their offerings and prayer cards in buckets on their way out of the parking lot.

I was thrilled to feature Barbara Peacock’s 30-year project, Hometown, some time back as I so appreciated the humanity and sympathetic approach she brings to her subjects. Her new series, American Bedroom is an anthropological study of our most private spaces – where we sleep, where we are intimate, and where we restore ourselves. Barbara was the recipient of the Getty Editorial Grant 2017 for this work. It also garnered a Critical Mass Top 50 nod in 2019. The work is free of artifice and is revelatory in its insights into our personal spaces.

Polish photographer Kaja Rata whose work was recently celebrated as a Top 50 portfolio in Critical Mass, has a metaphorical project that considers home. Who we are is not always defined by where we live or grow-up , it is truly formed by the limits of our imaginations. Living in a community that feels in decline and stagnant, Kaja looks to the skies for comfort and inspiration.

As of today, more than 83,600 people have died from COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, since late January, according to data tracked by Johns Hopkins University. This global death toll puts into perspective not just the individual lives lost, but also the thousands of families, communities, and loved ones left behind to cope with grief and uncertainty. New rules and procedures, prompted by the pandemic, have prevented many families from holding memorial services. And, in some of the harder-hit towns and cities, funeral homes and morgues are now reaching capacity. Below, a collection of recent images from around the world, in the midst of a painful and costly pandemic.
