This week, we have followed the continued flight of Afghans from their country. We spoke with some of the Afghan interpreters, support staff and informal allies who fought for visas after the Taliban regained power. Meanwhile, Kiana Hayeri photographed young Afghans as she asked what would become of the post-9/11 generation for The New York Times Magazine. In the USA, Annie Grossinger has spent years photographing people who have been released from prison in New York State and how reintegration into society has challenged them in his series Award continues.
In the UK, we looked at over 50 years of Notting Hill Carnival and older British holidaymakers on the English Riviera in David Hares. In Somaliland, Nichole Sobecki photographed baby cheetahs in the wild and documented how they are illegally removed from their homes. And for Fast Company, researchers asked residents of two cities in Colombia to photograph examples of justice and coexistence, with enlightening results. We look at the winners of the photography of women grants, including Eli Farinago and Danielle Villasana. Gena Marvin is reinventing Russian beauty, and Pablo Piedra, a longtime military photographer, is now taking stunning insect photographs. At Logan White’s photo series Recital took us back to ballet class, and New England-based photographer by Philip Keith the images of how Martha’s Vineyard has become a dark haven this time of year made us want to jump into the ocean and enjoy the last weeks of summer.
