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.
SNAP COLLECTIVE presents the first book by photographer Asako Naruto, who has received numerous international awards. Through her lens, the artist explores the contours of “what is present” while
tracing the silent echoes of “what is absent.” Divided into ten chapters, the
book gathers fragments of “untold stories” that float through the streets of
Madrid, reflecting the fleeting nature of memory and the delicate fragility of
existence.
Anna Atkins: Photographer, Naturalist, Innovator offers a clear and well-documented introduction to one of the most important yet long-overlooked figures in photographic history. Corey Keller places Atkins’s cyanotypes within their scientific, technical, and social context, showing how her work contributed to the early development of photographic publishing while navigating the constraints faced by women in the nineteenth century. Concise, carefully illustrated, and accessible to non-specialists, the book provides both visual pleasure and historical insight. It is an essential reference for readers interested in early photography, photobooks, and the intersection of science and image-making.
Archipelago, a debut photobook by Yolanda del Amo, explores the tension between the inner and exterior realities of human life. Through staged tableaus featuring friends and family, Del Amo constructs moments that expose the social frameworks shaping identity, class, family, and gender. Her photographs illustrate how closeness and separation coexist within the same space and reveal the fragile balance between connection and solitude.
Photographed in London, Near Dark ventures into a mysterious territory, reflecting a less harmonious city mood, a fever dream of anxiety and unpredictability. London is just as alluring as ever but now everyone is taking shelter, keeping out of sight.
I constantly wonder where I truly belong. This series explores the psychological impact of
relocation and emigration that I have experienced throughout my life. The title is inspired by the
keyboard shortcut I frequently use when typing in Japanese, and it serves as an indirect
representation of my national background.
Agony in the Garden is the second monograph by Magnum Photographer, Lúa Ribeira, created
in her native country of Spain between 2021 to 2023 in the peripheries of Madrid, Málaga,
Granada and Almería. Inspired by the revealing potential of contemporary counter-culture,
she has collaborated with young people to make images that reflect on the alienation and
uncertainty of the present era, evoking a dystopian landscape suspended in time, one that
appears both contemporary and ancient while reflecting the signs of contemporary youth
movements and how they convey the alienation and uncertainty of the present-era
This series of black-and-white portraits depicts the people around whom Denis Dailleux grew up, between love and hate. Created when he was 25 years old and full of doubt, the project marked a turning point in the photographer’s work.
Anastasia Samoylova’s Atlantic Coast is more than a photography book—it is a journey through the evolving landscape of the United States, both literal and metaphorical. Retracing U.S. Route 1 from Key West, Florida, to Fort Kent, Maine, seventy years after Berenice Abbott first documented the road, Samoylova offers a meditation on the tensions between nostalgia and progress, myth and reality, that define the American experience.
Gumsucker laments the loss of untamed Australian wilderness to civilization, ever encroaching, domesticating the land and spirit. It is a ghost story of sorts, populated by withering vestiges and isolated souls. Its title, drawn from the archaic term once used to describe native-born European Australians, also recalls ‘The Gumsucker’s Dirge,’ a 19th-century poem mourning the erasure of wilderness as the frontier was pushed further out and the dream of an untouched wilderness became increasingly inaccessible.
