The Last Goodbyes in the Border Regions of Ukraine 

As the war in Ukraine continues to rage, the flood of refugees from the fighting continue to flow west across the country’s borders. But as women and children flee, their husbands, fathers and brothers remain to fight the Russians, while others refuse to leave home. Photographer Ismail Ferdous spent time photographing those preparing to fight, those fleeing abroad, and those who choose to stay as they all say goodbye.

EXHIBITION

Motoyuki Daifu : Childhood as a Playful Disorder

To bring some light into these dark times, the MEP in Paris has had the brilliant idea of a dreamy exhibition on “Love Songs: Photography and Intimacy”. For the first time, the program of its emerging artists’ Studio space echoes the main exhibition, by hosting Motoyuki Daifu’s series “Lovesody”. This is the Japanese photographer’s first institutional exhibition in Europe.

How Photography Can Help Restore Confidence in Journalism

Since 2005, nearly 2200 newspapers across the United States have shuttered, and newspaper jobs have plummeted nearly 57%. Photojournalists have been hit hard by the cuts. But now a new business model is hoping to reverse the trend—and not just support photojournalism, but revive local media as well.
