Few, if any, journalists’ names have appeared in this newsletter as often as Evan Vucci. He is the Associated Press photographer based in Washington, D.C., who has been photographing Trump for years. Whenever a photo of Trump has appeared in this newsletter, it was more than likely taken by Vucci.

This year’s theme, “Beneath the Surface” is a deeper probe of a number of underlying themes with a particular emphasis on the creativity and often under-representation of women photographers. The first major retrospective of Mary Ellen Mark since her death in 2015 presents a vast array of images reflecting the intense curiosity that defines her work. One can peruse her contact sheets as the exhibition follows her career through five distinct projects. Whether photographing the homeless or twins in many sizes and shapes, her images are always compelling in their honesty and compassion.

It’s with words heavy in pain that we write these lines. Jocelyn Manfredi, the unwavering pillar of Sipa Press and photojournalism, has left us. Jocelyn was a multiple exception. A woman in a world full of macho men, she juggled multiple conversations while watching the news, in various languages, still making you feel like you were the most important person in the world. She was always on, always meeting deadlines, always getting film in and photographers out, smiling and frowning at the same time.

‘I take photos to convey my hatred of war’ Maxim Dondyuk has photographed Zelensky and embedded with Ukrainian troops.
Just before Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, French-American writer Jonathan Littell and French photographer Antoine d’Agata traveled to Kyiv’s Babi Yar ravine, where the Nazis carried out one of the Holocaust’s largest massacres in September 1941. Littell and d’Agata’s goal was to document how the site of such enormous tragedy preserves its history and exists in the present day. However, Moscow’s full-scale war forced them to broaden the scope of their project to reflect a reality where war crimes are not just a horrific chapter in Ukraine’s past but a part of its daily life in the present. The resulting book, titled An Inconvenient Place, was published in French in late 2023
In the 1980s and ’90s, Belarusian photojournalist Syarhey Brushko documented the turbulent period of Belarus’s transition from a Soviet republic to an independent state that saw the rise of authoritarian ruler Alyaksandr Lukashenka.
