Shifting Sands: Surreal Landscapes of...
In 2007, after only one year of working as a freelance photographer in Toronto, Philip Cheung was asked to shoot for a newspaper in Abu Dhabi, a move that eventually led him to spend a total of five years professionally photographing the Middle East.
“It was a very spontaneous move,” Cheung told TIME. He arrived knowing very little about the [...]
Hannah Pierce-Carlson and the Line Be...
American-born Hannah Pierce-Carlson lives in Vietnam, where she spends her time teaching English to middle class children and photographing their daily lives. Those daily lives seem to mostly be made up of Dora the Explorer, American-style video game arcades and overweight children. In fact, if it wasn’t for the Chinese-language signs p [...]
The Dreamy Dissonance of @echosight
Every day, across all kinds of media and all sorts of pursuits, creative minds are reinventing the ways we collaborate with each other in the second decade of the 21st century. Photographers, for instance, no longer need to physically exchange negatives, prints, contact sheets or other “analog” materials in order to work with each other; all [...]
Emil Jakobsen Takes Awkward Photos of...
I enjoy taking pictures of strange people, like Denmark’s star sex therapist Carl-Mar Møller whom I was fortunate enough to photograph clothed (he doesn’t do clothes, usually). I also appreciate an obviously awkward situation in pictures. In fact, I often find it quite awkward when I take someone’s picture. It’s probab [...]
The Camera as a Bridge: A Daughter-in...
When Ilona Szwarc and her husband moved from Poland to New York in 2008, she had never met her mother-in-law, Anna, who had made the same move decades earlier. Other daughters-in-law might have endured awkward meals or family vacations until the relationship got comfortable, but Ilona Szwarc is a photographer and she took a different approach [...]
Anarchy, Attitude and Outrage: When P...
In the beginning, punk happened on the streets — a rebellious embodiment of disillusioned British youth, expressed through style and music. Where once its images were reproduced in stapled fanzines, four decades on a new exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art carries punk into more rarefied surroundings. TIME looks back, through the work o [...]

Many powerful photographs have been made in the aftermath of the devastating collapse of a garment factory on the outskirts of Dhaka, Bangladesh. But one photo, by Banglade [...]
Supporting Photographers, Moving Wall...
On Wednesday, the Open Society Foundations will mark their 20th group exhibition of “Moving Walls” at their new location in midtown Manhattan. Initially conceived 15 years ago as a way to highlight the foundation’s issues and to support documentary photography, the exhibition highlights and adds value to important (and often under-reported) s [...]
Dreamscapes: The Fantastical Photogra...
As the old expression “a canary in a coal mine” suggests, the small songbirds have long been a symbol of a type of early-detection system — a way of indicating something that might otherwise remain unknown. And just as the old coal mine canaries alerted miners to invisible gases and fumes, the camera is capable of capturing [...]
Easter in the Mountains
The Cora, or Naayari, as they call themselves, were the last indigenous ethnic group in Mexico to be conquered by the Spanish – they held out until 1722. Many of them still live in isolated communities along the Sierra del Nayar mountain range, remote settlements that are only reachable by plane and lack basic services like running water and [...]
Luigi Ghirri’s Kodachromes Revisited
As an avid photobook enthusiast I have gone to great lengths to see books that are far out of my reach economically. I have spent countless hours at photobook auction previews just to carefully flip the pages of rarities that will be sold for thousands of dollars. I have no intent to bid or buy, or to check the condition which is the main rea [...]
