The Spanish national football team’s well-deserved second FIFA World Cup victory has been somewhat overshadowed by the Argentinian team’s conduct before and after the final whistle, drawing criticism regarding the defending champions’ behaviour. But another incident has dominated headlines: footage of US President Donald Trump appearing to overstay his welcome during the sacred lifting…
Bob Carlos Clarke spent a career being filed under a single word: provocative. That’s accurate in one sense, but it’s also the kind of shorthand that lets people skip past the actual work. As a new retrospective opens in London, it’s a good opportunity to…
More than mountains: the human story of Chilean Patagonia told through these award-winning photos
July 22, 2026
Chilean Patagonia, an area famed for its towering granite peaks, crystalline glaciers, and vast, rugged wilderness so beautiful it almost seems like the picture-perfect South American region was crafted by an artist.
Yet two of the most highly commended images from this…
What makes a memorable photograph? Is it the way in which it was taken, or the lasting impression the scene itself makes? This is an age-old question in photography, and one which I think Australian photographer and photography historian Peter Adams answered definitively back in 1987.
Around this time, Adams said something so simple yet monumental that it has become one of the most-recognized…

German photographer Marcel Ohneberger’s giraffe portrait is exactly that: an enormous, looming head fills most of the frame, its neck curving away…
Beta Pictoris, located about 63 light-years away from Earth, is one of the most photographed planetary systems outside of our own – yet despite all the data coming from that part of the sky, a faint planet remained hidden. After researchers noted a bright spot in new images, the newly discovered planet was spotted in images dating back over 11 years.
“We weren’t looking for a new planet…
I can still remember the first time that, standing with a camera around my neck and aching feet, one of the members of the bridal party told me that I had done a great job. I must have looked confused. The wedding wasn’t even over yet, the photographs had yet to leave my…
A number of the photographs that I’ve come across this week look as if they were shot on the scene of a post-apocalyptic movie – but the devastating wildfires across the globe, sparking eerie, smoke-filled scenes, are not the stuff of Hollywood…
There’s a particular kind of shot that’s a gift, in theory at least, to photographers. The lone building, boarded up and improbable, standing on its own with nothing else around it. Dramatic irony and geometric symmetry in equal measure.
Ben Marcin’s been shooting this kind of scene for the best part of two decades. And his debut photobook, The Holdouts, published by GOST on 1…
