Photographers are often invisible and unacknowledged. The delicate and tender touch of a new mother, the dignity and vulnerability of a person honestly seen. The ethereal beauty of the sea’s largest shark as it arches to be fed by a human interloper. The astonishing physical command of an Olympic athlete, perfectly organized in space by a photographer’s composition. We also asked our photographers to document the joy, the optimism, the curious and buoyant moments that remind us of the gobsmacking beauty of the world and all that connects us to one another. Our photographer in Myanmar can’t even reveal his name for fear of being targeted.īut while the news focuses on tumult, life is much richer than that. Jim Huylebroek refused to leave Afghanistan even when it was obviously the prudent thing to do, because he wanted to show the world what was transpiring during the history-making retreat of the American military and the success of the Taliban.
She continued to photograph after being physically assaulted by rioters. A routine assignment to cover a vote on Capitol Hill was transformed in an instant, and Erin Schaff found herself in the middle of a conflict. Max Whittaker prepped his house and helped his family evacuate before suiting up to cover the firefighting efforts to contain the Caldor fire that threatened his home. And, while once war photographers were the ones expected to confront danger, now because of an unpredictable virus, hostility toward journalists, domestic conflict and fearsome natural disasters, an ordinary-sounding assignment can become risky.ĭoug Mills submitted to hundreds of Covid tests in order to give our readers uninterrupted access to a White House in transition between two vastly different administrations. We get access to remote places, shuttered places, dangerous places, private places. We get to see and better understand the world through their eyes.
We are the beneficiaries of their courage and their commitment, and the connections they make with others. They must be in the hospital I.C.U., in the scrum of the protest, at the front line of the conflict, close to the wildfire, inside the homes of the struggling parents, or wading into the floodwaters of the storm. Photographers must be there to do their work, to bear witness firsthand. Our writers describe and sometimes interpret the world for our readers, but our photographers literally show our readers the world.
As some people retreated to working from home, or keeping their distance, these committed journalists did not have that option. This period has underscored the special communicative power of the image, as well as the risks taken and hardship endured by photographers so they can show us the world. This is the story of 2021 told visually, through the eloquent universal language of photography. The vaccine saved some lives, but human passions, hopes and fears did their usual work to create a year that was anything but calm, and is ending with the prospect of a new variant upending plans once again. Governments fell, democracies were challenged, and climate-related destruction was unleashed, all while the casualties of the pandemic continued to amass. Capitol, and saw a summer of carefree gatherings derailed by a fast-spreading virus. But the year instead took off with an insurrection in the U.S. The year 2021 opened with the promise of vaccines, and the belief that we would all return to “normal” after the tumultuous year of the pandemic.
