Hannah Reyes Morales documents tenderness amidst adversity. Her photography, both visceral and intimate, explores how resilience is embodied in daily life. She grew up in Manila, witnessing loved ones depart from home each year. These departures, along with the discovery of a shelf of dusty photographic magazines, stirred her interest in concerned photography. Morales has reported on forced marriages in Cambodia, documented women’s experiences with assault in the ongoing conflict in South Sudan, explored the long-term effects of colonization on women’s bodies in the Philippines, photographed the toll of Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs, and documented the Filipino Diaspora. In 2019, she participated in the World Press Photo’s Joop Swart Masterclass and received the Tim Hetherington Visionary Award. She is a 2020 National Geographic Explorer and the World Economic Forum named her a cultural leader in its ASEAN forum. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and National Geographic Magazine, among others.

Sir Don McCullin. He photographed his first open conflict essay about the civil war in Cyprus in 1964. In 1966 he began an eighteen-year affiliation with the London Sunday Times Magazine, covering major conflicts and battlefields — the Congo, Biafra, Israel, Vietnam, Cambodia, Northern Ireland, Bangladesh, Lebanon, El Salvador, Iraq, and Syria — and became recognized both as a master of black-and-white photography and as a legendary war photographer. He is the author of more than twenty books, including his acclaimed autobiography, Unreasonable Behaviour. Previous recognition includes two Premier Awards from World Press Photo, the 2006 ICP Infinity Awards Cornell Capa Award, and the 2016 Master of Photography at Photo London. He was made Commander of the British Empire in 1993, and was knighted in 2017. His work has been exhibited worldwide, including a full retrospective of his career presented by London’s Tate Britain in 2019.
In November 1963, just months before apartheid in America was finally outlawed, two groups of black photographers based in Harlem came together to form the Kamoinge Workshop. It went on to become the longest-running photography collective in the world. T

Founded in the ’60s, when black art was ignored by the establishment, Kamoinge’s influence has remained largely unrecognised – until now.
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.

Everything has the right to be put in the picture. This is the “democratic vision” Christian Werner applies to his photographic work. His recently-published photo book brings together well-known faces, anonymous portraits, landscapes, animals and urban spaces.

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.

There are a number of different ways to approach writing about photograph

Dieter Keller was a Nazi employed in the Wehrmacht in the early 40’s. He participated or observed the systematic killing and torture of villagers on the Eastern Front of the war. Where is gets complicated is that he made beautiful photographic images surrounding the event that remind one of the Bauhaus movement, modernist masterpieces of the medium and later Tarkovsky-like interludes of solemn and questioning studies of the environment in which he found himself. He was, by official Nazi decree not supposed to have made these records. And yet….we have these records in Das Auge Des Krieges (Buchkunst Berlin).
