Exploring Brazil's capital city on his motorbike is a pleasure when the weather is like this, he says, and his canine cavalcade had effectively invited themselves along for the ride. The first member of our pack, Filo, isn't in the photo, but she was there that day, de Souza says. Filo started riding with me in a backpack years ago, then around the time she turned one, I rescued Teo.

The jais are taking our children away,

In 2025, the One Exposure Awards shifted to pure black‑and‑white, creating a nature photography showcase that feels strikingly different. The absence of color amplifies every shadow, texture, and emotional beat in each winning image. Across categories ranging from wildlife to fine‑art experimentation, the contest highlighted nature in its most elemental form. Lidija Novković earned 1st Place with "Začudno," a low‑angle giraffe portrait that transforms the familiar into something mythic.

At next month's event, you can expect talks from Liang-Jung Chen, a London-based artist interested in material culture as they work across several mediums. After going viral with their UK indefinite leave to remain project, which was a thrilling piece of screen-recorded performance art within Microsoft Excel, Liang-Jung will be joining the stage to elaborate on how that project came about whilst introducing their versatile practice.

A look at how economic globalization has left its mark on former industrial cities and struggling small towns across America by photographer Matthew Ludak. Ludak received his BA from Drew University and MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His practice explores contemporary social issues, including classism, de-industrialization, environmentalism, and structural racism in the United States. He currently resides in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he continues to explore the intersections of art and social justice through his photography and non profit work.

Forget the film camera revival that never quite materialized at scale. The defining hardware trend of 2026 will be the continued adoption of C2PA (Content Credentials) signing in camera bodies beyond the flagship tier. Leica and Nikon have been early movers here, with Sony engaged in the broader Content Credentials ecosystem. This year, we are likely to see signing capabilities expand from flagship and select professional models into higher-volume lines as implementation costs fall and workflow integration matures.

For her formative 1985 work The Ballad of Sexual Dependency, Nan Goldin eschewed the traditions of exhibiting photography by compiling her images the number of which ran close to 700 into a slideshow, and screening it alongside a soundtrack featuring, among others, Yoko Ono, Maria Callas and Dionne Warwick. The 45-minute long show has since been screened in galleries and museums all over the world, and is lauded for its searing candour and highly personal subject matter the series comprises photographs taken by Goldin of her friends, family and burgeoning subcultures in cities like Boston, New York and Berlin.

After working as an editor in New York City for several years, my then-wife got offered a job in Singapore. It was the golden opportunity we both wanted. What we thought would be a posting of just a few years turned into decades. We divorced in 2011, but both stayed in Singapore, building our careers and lives. Singapore was the jolt my career needed I'd always wanted to be a photojournalist, so in 2000 I decided to pursue it full-time.

Perhaps the most anticipated new camera of 2025, Sony's new A7V mirrorless camera just squeaked onto the scene before the end of the year. The A7 series is Sony's all-around camera. It lacks the resolution of the A7R cameras and the video focus of the A7S cameras, but in some ways offering enough of the best of those to make the plain A7 the best choice for most people.

The exhibit, which runs Jan.15-March 14 at the De Anza College museum, is presented in conjunction with Silicon Valley Reads and its 2026 theme, "Bridges to Belonging." Self, family and neighborhood portraits reflect South Bay Area faces and stories. Marie Cameron's "People in My Neighborhood" series grew from her desire to meet and celebrate essential workers and creatives in her hometown of Los Gatos. The portraits include her neighbor's caregiver, grocery store and café workers, an artist, an author and a small business owner.

Sophia wasn't particularly talkative that evening. Earlier that day, she'd been onstage at the conference I was attending and had been teased for a gesture that looked as though she were flipping off the audience. Now she was in the hotel lobby, in a black gown, holding court. She stepped in front of a bright-orange wall. I had brought an 85-mm. portrait lens, the kind that flatters human lineaments.

Nigerian American photographer Mikael Owunna's life-size, shimmering images of ancient deities in outer space set the tone for "UNBOUND: Art, Blackness and the Universe," MoAD's stellar exploration of the African diaspora in the eternal and the infinite. "UNBOUND," which runs through Aug. 16, 2026, is MoAD curatorial chief Key Jo Lee's most ambitious exhibition to date. Over three floors, she presents an African diaspora that is "unbound" from earthly and chronological conceptions of diaspora.

It makes sense, right? Every day, we're told how shitty our attention spans are because of our phones. We can't get through 90-minute movies anymore without a quick scroll. We can't just sit down and read a book off our shelf. We have decision fatigue trying to pick a recipe to cook instead of just looking in a cookbook. So turning to more analog things for the betterment of our bodies and minds makes total sense.

Fujifilm just revealed the Instax mini Evo Cinema camera, which looks suspiciously like a vintage Super 8. More specifically, it was designed to mimic the Single-8 from 1965, which was a rival unit to the Super 8. Fujifilm's latest device captures video, just like its retro inspiration. However, this is an Instax and the line has primarily been dedicated to snapping and printing out still images on the fly. The Evo Cinema can still do that, albeit in a slightly different way.

Raschka once again chronicles the lives of his own sons, only this time traversing the labyrinth of puberty and brotherhood that marks their transition to adulthood. "Tween" explores this intense period in sixty black and white photographs taken between 2020 and 2023-years that coincide with the COVID-19 pandemic. In this way, not only are the young men struggling within themselves, they are also grappling with the challenges we were all facing during those years:

The issue showcases photographers who don't just document destinations but immerse themselves in the emotion, culture, and humanity of each place. Selected from thousands of global submissions, the 25 winners-representing 13 countries across four continents, with nearly half being women-offer powerful stories rather than simple snapshots. Their work spans sacred rituals, fading traditions, intimate daily moments, and landscapes that resonate with depth and intention.

I've been on lots of cruises, but my sailing to Alaska on the Disney Wonder really stands out. From the exciting excursions to the stunning views from the boat, the trip was unforgettable. I'd absolutely take another Alaskan cruise in the future. As a frequent traveler, I've sailed with several different cruise lines on itineraries throughout the Caribbean, Northern Europe, and the Mediterranean. But out of everywhere I've been, my favorite vacation was an eight-night sailing on board the Disney Wonder to Alaska.

Where the book is really born was in the quiet, uncanny connections between images that captured "the ruin and feeling of uncertainty" growing up in the "third world" they grew up in, which they found to be genetically made up of abandoned places, fragile objects, industrial leftovers, traces of ecological collapse and moments where nature and human structures collided. In Uncertainties, the collision of imagery creates a menacing tone throughout:

Robert remembers cold windy days in the Mission when many of its trees were little more than promising twigs in the ground!

In the 25 years since the first permanent crew docked at the International Space Station, fewer than 300 people have experienced what life is like there, 250 miles above Earth. The rest of us can only imagine it. So, for NASA astronauts like Don Pettit, taking photographs of our planet while aboard the ISS is a way to share the experience with people on the ground.

These images, captured by photographer Barry Webb, provide a close-up view of single-celled slime mould organisms. A view that would not be possible with the naked eye. Using a high-powered macro lens, and a composite of stills, Barry is able to reveal the tiny structures, which can grow anywhere from forests to deserts. Barry has won awards for his work, which is mainly focused west of London, including the recent people's choice award in the macro section of the British photography awards.

"I always loved, and still love obviously, shooting him," Butler told ESPN. "He's always engaged. Some guys are only engaged when they have the ball. But if he's in the corner, if he has the ball, if he's on the bench, he's engaged in the game and you just kind of gravitate toward that. I think he also is one of those superstars that understands the moment."

The year 2025 was defined as much by its major milestones as by the quiet moments in between. This collection features the Sun Sentinel staff's most visual work of the year, from the high-energy celebrations of a Florida Panthers championship to local scenes of everyday life. View the people, places, and community events that made 2025 memorable across Broward and Palm Beach counties.

Jason Hawkes has been capturing the capital from the skies for over 25 years, and his method is not for the faint-hearted. Flying in a helicopter with the doors removed, Mr Hawkes climbs between 500ft and 2,400ft. Both himself and the camera are harnessed to the helicopter so nothing falls out when it turns on its side to get the perfect shot.

The 2025 Refocus International Photographer of the Year Awards reaffirmed the platform's status as a leading showcase for contemporary photography, highlighting work that transcends borders and cultures. This year's winners delivered not just images but deeply human stories, ranging from raw street moments to bold conceptual pieces. Canadian photographer Luke Gram earned the top honor for his series "Humanity Within the Architecture of Control," a subtle yet powerful exploration of everyday life inside North Korea that reveals how individuality persists within rigid systems.

Gerwyn Davies treats the photographic portrait as a stage for disappearance in his ongoing body of work. The Sydney-based artist engineers elaborately costumed selves that gleam under studio lighting, swell into sculptural proportions, and refuse to reveal a face. What appears at first to be hypervisibility, sequins, vinyl, and candy-colored textiles, becomes a visual barricade. The body inside the costume is present, centered, and performing.

The 2025 Minimalist Photography Awards Landscape winners prove that in a noisy world, simplicity can strike the deepest chord. These photographs rely on quiet power rather than spectacle, reducing scenes to pure elements of space, light, and emotion. Martin Rak claimed 1st Place with Art of Winter, a serene Czech landscape capturing the hush of the season's first snowfall, while Kalle Saarikko's 2nd Place Whirl and Alexandre Brisson's 3rd Place infrared Dreamscape of Etosha showed how abstraction and surreal color can reshape our sense of place.

one of 18 wildcats that were released in the Scottish Highlands, UK, in October. This is the third year that wildcats have been released into the Cairngorms national park after being declared functionally extinct in Britain in 2019. Four have died, but five litters of kittens were born this year, and seven the year before. Experts have said there is real hope for the future of wildcats in ScotlandPhotograph: Peter Cairns/Scotland Big Picture/Royal Zoological Society of Scotland/PA
