Catherine Wagner is never not doing something interesting, it seems, whether it's photographing hidden corners of Oakland's Mills College Art Museum for 2018's Archeology in Reverse series or using film canisters from the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive's to recontextualize the history of movies in 2024's Moving Pictures. Mostly she works behind the camera, which I guess you'd expect from a photographer.

"We make a lot of work together, but we do carry our own cameras and, within that shared universe, really operate as individuals. It may sound strange to people from afar, but for us that really does make a difference - whether I shoot a photo by myself. In small ways, we try to find our own individual work, which is also healthy, I think, and nice to do."

Olivia, our granddaughter, said, " If there isn't a photo, it didn't happen." This may be a bit extreme, but to some, photography freezes time with an immediacy no other medium can match. A photo is an imprint of something that truly exists: a person, a place, or a gesture. To accumulate such images is to collect moments that survive.

New York City is endlessly photogenic and a recent study has the data to prove it. Covers.com editor-in-chief James Bisson analyzed millions of Instagram posts and confirmed what locals already know. Five of America's twenty most photographed places are right here in the city, more than any other town in the country. While Disneyland and Walt Disney World take the top two spots, Central Park is the number three most photographed place in the country with 8.47 million tagged posts.

"I pair a photograph of a Palestinian girl from the 1950s, displaced and waiting for food aid from UNRWA, with a looping GIF sent to me by one of my best friends in Gaza. It shows the last meal she has left, and her desperation to feed ten family members with what little remains," says Glorianna. Next to the image, a WhatsApp message reads '[12:36, Gaza/2025] Yousef: I'm okay but losing weight because of famine and starvation.'

"The work of your magazine and all who contribute are providing a vital service to the transformation that is ongoing in today's world. No other magazine could replace the work you all do, and the unique niche that you are providing to serve the evolutionary shift to a new, more balanced, enlightened culture." - Scott Chausse | Paonia, Colorado Awards & Recognition HCN picked up 10 awards from the Indigenous Journalists Association, including:

I was in Liverpool with my wife and friends for a weekend away, and Sunday was an arty day, Tooth says. We began at Walker Art Gallery, and ended with a Guinness in the Philharmonic Dining Rooms. In between we headed the two miles outside the city to the statues. Seeing the rusting figures, all facing the sea amid the moving sands, was stunning.

The Royal Photographic Society has announced its 2025 award recipients, and the lineup is nothing short of extraordinary. With these honorees, the RPS Awards spotlight creators who are shaping visual culture through both still and moving imagery.

Where some photos show familiar dusty green carpets and smoke stained curtains, the next presents another type of common American interior - a room stacked with rifles. Nadia's confronting approach is no better represented than through weaponry; one standout image shows a handsome knife decorated with an American flag grip - cultural history and the implication of violence all in one.

I love to integrate manual interventions such as printing on fabric, sewing, and collage, transforming the work into more complex and tactile objects,

For more than three decades, Liz Johnson Artur has photographed the people I'm with a characteristically modest expression that belies the radiance, intimacy and unshowy brilliance of her pictures, an extraordinary archive numbering thousands of images that celebrate beauty, resilience, community and resistance. Intimate and alive, her photographs often shot on the fly, in streets, nightclubs and living rooms pull you right into the moment, just before it disappears for good.

A few people were doing it at the time. Jean Pagliuso and Benno Friedman were doing it a little bit differently. I had a boyfriend, and we went on a cross-country trip. One of the places we went was Las Vegas. I loved the Las Vegas pictures, so I decided to put some color in them, and then in some other pictures, pictures I'd done of some cows.

While Derby's photograph of a child dreaming of play is resonant for its tender simplicity, this era was marked by very different images of life in Mississippi, from the indelible photos of the open-casket funeral of Emmett Till in Chicago in 1955 to the iconic images of the 1963 lunch counter sit-ins in Jackson. Photojournalistic images spanning more than a decade covering protests, demonstrations, and demands for justice became trenchant reminders of the social and political tumult of the time.

The book's designers, Alflie Allen and Max Marshall, brought grime's fashion legacy to the tactile experience. James says: "I said I didn't want to make a coffee table book as I thought that didn't feel right for grime." In consideration of how best to encapsulate the genre's feel, James, Alfie, and Max came up with the idea of condensing the photo book into a poster; each page folds out into A2, creating a storybook that unfurls alongside the narrative.

The wild expressiveness of her most famous photographs runs deeply through the pieces in Sanctum Sanctorum, named after the concept of a sacred room or inner chamber. Couples are shown nude and sexually entangled with one another; solo women sit glamorously in bed covered in fine jewellery; a female impersonator curls up on a striped mattress, almost naked except for a coiffed blonde wig and delicate heels.
