Speaking to Michel Puech of La Lettre de la Photographie, Guillaume Clavières, senior photo editor at Paris Match, said, late last year that Ochlik was one of the most talented young photographers of his generation. “Motivated, enthusiastic, curious and brilliant. He is capable of going from one difficult news topic to another less dramatic subject with the same photographic quality.”

While I cannot speak for the leadership of the Magazine today, I think there are several required attributes that are constant – they’re the same today as they were when I was Director of Photography, and earlier.

Last Thursday night, Mr. Aranda returned to Yemen to cover Tuesday’s presidential election, which ends the 33-year rule of President Ali Abdullah Saleh. But first, he had another task on his plate.

Marc Shoul is a South African photographer, born in 1975 in Port Elizabeth. Interested in exploring social issues, four years ago he began photographing the city of Brakpan, which is a 45-minute drive from Johannesburg.

You’re gonna cry, you’re gonna have your heart ripped out, but just don’t give up.
