In the Moment: 40 Years of Reuters Photojournalism offers a sweeping look at four decades of images that have shaped public understanding of world events. More than a retrospective, it is a tribute to the photographers who have stood at the heart of unfolding history, responding with instinct, courage and a sense of duty that has long defined Reuters’ global mission. From the fall of the Berlin Wall to natural disasters, conflicts, elections and moments of quiet humanity, the book traces how a single frame can illuminate a story with a clarity that words alone cannot achieve.
Founded in London in 1851, Reuters has built its reputation on accuracy, speed and impartiality. Its photographers carry this responsibility directly into the field, often working under immense pressure and personal risk. Over the past forty years, they have chronicled crises and triumphs alike, producing an extraordinary visual archive that spans continents and cultures. This volume, illustrated with nearly 500 images, organizes these moments decade by decade, allowing readers to follow how visual journalism has evolved alongside technology, politics and global awareness.
What distinguishes the book is the presence of first-person accounts from the photographers themselves. Their narratives add emotional depth to the images, revealing the decisions, dangers and impulses behind each shutter release. These testimonies remind readers that photojournalism is not only about recording events, but about bearing witness — an act that requires sensitivity as much as bravery.
At a time when the media landscape is rapidly shifting and trust in reporting faces new challenges, In the Moment underscores the essential role of transparent, on-the-ground documentation. It celebrates the enduring value of photography as evidence, memory and moral testimony. This collection stands as a vital record of the past forty years, honoring those who have dedicated their lives to showing the world as it is, in its urgency, sorrow, resilience and hope.
Artists in the Photo League, active from 1936 to 1951, were known for capturing sharply revealing, compelling moments from everyday life. Their focus centered on New York City and its vibrant streets—a newsboy at work, a brass band on a bustling corner, a crowded beach at Coney Island. Though beautiful, the images harbor strong social commentary on issues of class, child labor, and opportunity. The Radical Camera explores the fascinating blend of aesthetics and social activism at the heart of the Photo League, tracing the group's left-leaning roots and idealism to the worker-photography movement in Europe. Influenced by mentors Lewis Hine, Berenice Abbott, and Paul Strand, artists in the Photo League worked within a unique complex comprising a school, a darkroom, a gallery, and a salon, in which photography was discussed as both a means for social change and an art form. The influence of the Photo League artists on modern photography was enormous, ushering in the New York School.
Presenting 150 works of the members of the Photo League alongside complementary essays that offer new interpretations of the League's work, ideas, and pedagogy, this beautifully illustrated book features artists including Margaret Bourke-White, Sid Grossman, Morris Engel, Lisette Model, Ruth Orkin, Walter Rosenblum, Aaron Siskind, W. Eugene Smith, and Weegee, among many others.
For some travelers, a hotel is simply a place to stay. For LEONE, it is an experience shaped by atmosphere, people, and a sense of belonging. His third book, *A Place We Like*, grew out of a years-long search for that elusive feeling. Published as the inaugural title under the Leisure imprint of C41 Magazine, the project serves as both a visual guide to some of Europe’s most remarkable hotels and a personal reflection on the meaning of hospitality.
Discover Crossing, Kaplan’s powerful documentary photography project capturing Roxham Road, the irregular Canada-US border crossing used by refugees from 2018 to 2023.
Spurred by Trump-era immigration policies, this tiny site between New York and Quebec became a safe, highly unusual microcosm of global migration. Over four years, Kaplan photographed the entire ecosystem—from local cab drivers and border police to the asylum-seekers themselves. Moving past traditional media tropes of victimhood, these photographs challenge stereotypes to highlight the immense courage and resilience required to step into an unknown future before the site's closure in 2023.
I have spent years looking at Lee Friedlander’s America. It has always been a country of sharp angles, cluttered street corners, and shadows that seem to swallow the photographer whole. So when I picked up his latest monograph, Life Still, I expected the familiar noise of his world. Instead, I found something stranger: a 91-year-old master holding his breath.
