because of scheduling conflicts, two photographers went on the trip, Sergey Ponomarev, who traveled from Greece through Macedonia to Serbia, and Mauricio Lima, who picked up the thread in Belgrade, the Serbian capital.
Mary Frances Calvert, Kirsten Luce, Katie Orlinsky, Sergey Ponomarev and Jonathan Torgovnik have won this year’s Getty Images Grants for Editorial Photography.
In our story about how Sergey Ponomarev documented the arctic village of Shoyna being swallowed by sand, we mention New York Times photo editor Gaia Tripoli’s role in assigning and editing the story.
Here, Tripoli explains in detail how she edited and sequenced Ponomarev’s take, which included Polaroids, images of the landscape and village life, and videos.
From the shelled-out mall that never opened to a family reclaiming their possessions from rubble, Pulitzer-winning photographer Sergey Ponomarev captured Syria’s tragedy from the inside
n the middle of 2014, after the Syrian government had retaken the city of Homs from rebel fighters, Sergey Ponomarev stood with his camera and surveyed the damage. The photojournalist found a family who had returned to their old flat and captured the scene: in a street buried in rubble and lined with destroyed buildings, they load whatever possessions they can salvage into a taxi. Their son wears a brightly coloured party hat he has found. It is at once mundane – the family calmly going about their business – and devastating.
The two photojournalists shared the award for their coverage of fighting in Iraq to reclaim territory from ISIS. The work of both photographers was published by The New York Times
The works of Mandy Barker, Saskia Groneberg, Beate Guetschow, Rinko Kawauchi, Benny Lam, Richard Mosse, Wasif Munem, Sohei Nishino, Sergey Ponomarev, Thomas Ruff, Pavel Wolberg and Michael Wolf will be featured in an exhibition opening at the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) in London on May 4, 2017, when the winner will be announced by Prix Pictet honorary president and former United Nations Secretary General

Sergey Ponomarev’s trips to Syria remind him of his native Soviet Union: from the government security forces that kept track of his movements to destroyed areas that looked like something from the Battle of Stalingrad.
He returned twice to Syria in 2014 on assignment for The New York Times, again in government-controlled territory, and working with the Beirut bureau chief, Anne Barnard. Sergey Ponomarev’s photos from Syria have been on exhibit this week at the Visa pour l’Image photography festival here.
