Life as it unfolds in front of the camera is full of so much complexity, wonder, and surprise that I find it unnecessary to create new realities. There is more pleasure, for me, in things as-they-are.
An assortment of joyful images from around the world, from children's
delight at the cinema to family gatherings. Happy Holidays from
everyone at Magnum.
Requiem in Samba
by Alex Majoli
Living in the poor favelas of Brazil, photographer Alex Majoli
encountered a beautiful but violent culture shaped by the constant
specter of death. During his time there, he also discovered a
different outlook on life captured in the sounds of samba.
Donovan Wylie spent two years photographing the lives of “New Age Travelers.” His work, split into two parts, documents the daunting journey of this community.
