Sometimes a photographer will come to me with a box of prints, and I just keep looking at the pictures until I start understanding what the core is. It’s like the pictures ask me to pull them together in a certain way. A form begins.
I love working with the photographer, I certainly think the photographer is the final editor. And I listen to the photographer, but I don’t think they always see what they have. As an outsider, I can sometimes see more clearly.

Let it be clear: the high-profile case pitting freelance photographer Daniel Morel to Agence France Presse, Getty Images and CNN is not just a personal fight between one photographer against larger corporations. It’s a case that could impact all photographers. Here’s why.

I’d been working as a photojournalist for newspapers but was never really any good at it. I found that my presence would affect a situation very much, and for me, trying to be a fly on the wall, capturing some sort of instant, just wasn’t working. I managed to buy a second-hand Hasselblad and took a trip to Namibia. Along the way I shot everything that caught my eye, including some railway workers who lived in the middle of the desert along the tracks. When I printed their portraits I felt more resonance with these prints than I ever had before with my photographs.

Few photographers can say the first retrospective monograph of their work was published at the ripe old age of 41. And even fewer can say this all happened less than a decade after emerging on the international photography scene. But then again, in the last decade only a handful of photographers have been as influential to the medium as Alec Soth has been

On Odessa streets, children from all over Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, Prydnestovye and Russia coexist. “According to…official statistics about three thousand children live in the streets of Odessa. According to the words of the specialists it is just a top of the iceberg”, says Tatiana Semikop, Chief of Criminal Militia on Youth Affairs. No one has real data on the number of homeless children in Ukraine, but the country is overflowing with a third wave of child homelessness. During the first two waves of the Civil War and Second World War, children became orphans when their parents died. The majority of modern homeless childrens’ parents are alive. An awful concept has appeared in Ukraine: “social orphans,” children who in theory have somewhere to go, but who will go never there.

By the time the micro-blogging mischief was over, the North Korean tweets had ranted to its 10,000-plus Twitter followers about profligate nuclear weapons spending and lavish Kim Jong Il drinking parties – hosted “while 3 million people are starving and freezing to death.” A video also had been posted on North Korea’s official YouTube channel that showed a caricature of Kim Jong Eun driving in a luxury sports car, running over women and children on the side of the road.

German photographer CHRISTOPH BANGERT is part of a new generation of photojournalists that came of age post-9/11 and well into the internet era. “The difference with former generations is perhaps that we take a broader view. We know that it is not enough to have good pictures; you have to be good at communicating too.”
