Great newspaper photos

[ahalpert]

not necessarily a 'great' photo, but I'm always interested in photojournalists achieving something expressionist under strict rules, especially when it might form a connection to the broader story they're telling

the win goes to the protestors, but still I think it's well-framed

This is more what the thread was supposed to be about: images that I like texturally/compositionally in the abstract, more like a painting, rather than images that draw power from the events depicted. obviously tanks have symbolic meaning, but it's not like wow look at that moment

Bunch of good ones by Genna Martin in her photoessay on Namibia's Skeleton Coast. Excellent sense of geometry and color

Comrade, with some re-education you will learn to be one of the group
(or die in the attempt )

Maybe this creepy group will feel more familiar to you.

This thread includes admiration for composition and lighting, but you also have to tip your hat to the humans' effort in gathering and creating that visual above (although I'm still more blown away by those AI drone lighting shows that create a bunch of stuff at night).

I was a member of that "creepy group'. When I was around 13, I cut out a large photo of Leonid Brezhnev from Izvestia and painted a Fu Manchu onto it. My dad got really scared, ripped it into pieces and then burned it with his cigarette lighter.

But I am pretty inured to the whole thing now. I dislike all of them. I avoid all of them. Even if they were done by Leni Riefenstahl herself.

But that would be a much bigger crowd, the biggest, bigger than anyone else's, the biggest inthe world ever..... ,

Technically, not the newspaper photos - although, some have likely appeared somewhere, like CNN - but the finalists for the 2022 finalists for the Comedy Wildlife

I love dreamy, sort of abstract shots like this. In this case, kind of minimalist
