This issue also tackles Instagram nudity censorship and the art of commissioning fashion and newspaper editorials, while winning series from BJP’s Portrait of Humanity are explored by Alex Daniel. Exhibition previews include JIMEI x Arles and An-My Lê’s major solo show at MoMA New York, and you can also read an interview with Save the Children’s Ivy Lahon, who discusses how charities and NGOs are navigating a complex informational – and photographic – landscape in Israel and Gaza. Meanwhile, Susan Meiselas and Wendy Ewald talk through Collaboration, their book on power dynamics in picture-making.
In the expanded Intelligence section, they go behind the scenes at the growing Fotografiska empire, preview Nederlands Fotomuseum’s new Rotterdam space, and hear from director Paul Sng about his hard-hitting Tish Murtha documentary.
