This year, the Women Photograph Year in Pictures showcases the work of 100 of our 1,500+ members across the globe, highlighting assignment work, long term documentary projects, and personal stories from the past year. The continuing Russo-Ukrainian War dominated news cycles, as did growing concerns over the impacts of climate change worldwide and a near constant attack on human rights for women, migrants, and LGBTQIA+ people. COVID remains, but has significantly faded from public discourse and visualizations of our day-to-day lives. And as always, we hope you’ll find some moments of tenderness and quiet even in the midst of tension and chaos.
Women Photograph: 2021 Year in Pictures
The Women Photograph Year in Pictures showcases 100 images from 100 of our 1,300+ members across the globe, highlighting assignment work, long term documentary projects, and personal stories from the past year. As we collectively continue to battle COVID-19, widespread political unrest, and mounting climate catastrophe, this collection once again feels like a reflection of a dark, challenging year — but not without its fair share of softer and more contemplative moments that offer a glimpse into some of the select silver linings of a pandemic that has continued to allow us more time at home and with loved ones.
Women Photograph: 2020 Year in Pictures
How do you tell the story of a year in photographs when this has been the hardest year in living memory for photographers to do their jobs? We’ve assembled this overview of 2020 through the images of one hundred members of Women Photograph, each of whom had to work through extraordinary levels of precarity — whether from the pandemic, civil unrest, heightened hostility towards working journalists, or a gruesome combination of the three.
Women Photograph: 2019 Year in Pictures
Once again, we’ve curated our annual Year in Pictures from 100 members of Women Photograph. Taken either on assignment or by the photographer’s personal drive to document, these photographs represent a vast range of emotions and critical issues from the end of the decade. Included are images that delight, surprise and horrify. With sensitivity and often a tender gaze, they illustrate this changing world. These photographers, from around the globe, honor the human experience through the simple act of seeing.
