As Susan Baraz reflects, “For 20 years, I’ve been transported to places, events, tragedies, joy, familiarities, unseen microscopic intricacies, and the humbling vastness of space. I am awed and grateful to continue to be a witness. Thank you to the thousands of remarkable photographers who have been a part of IPA, and to those whose works have been selected for its 20th anniversary year.”

“Farmers at the Floating Market in Borneo practice one of the most beautiful examples of how people value food and one another. Every morning before sunrise, local farmers embark on their wooden boats to trade with each other. They transform their boats into floating mini-markets, loaded with fresh products, spices, and cooked food. Witnessing the trader’s activities reminded me of a harmonious dance. Each component is important to the market system: the river, the boats, the traders, and the customers. Together they formed a beautiful connection – how they value their products and each other.”
“Diversity in the animal world is crucial to maintaining ecological balance. Each species plays a unique role in its ecosystem. Preserving and protecting animal diversity is essential to ensure the survival and well-being of our planet.”
“These are the more environmental portraits from the South Sudan project. Usually captured at sunrise or sunset when the Ankole-Watusi cattle were brought in or out of camp.”
“From the front lines of the war in Ukraine comes this compelling collection of images from world-class photojournalists that captures the humanity, perseverance, and determination of the nation’s fight for freedom against all odds. Portfolios from some of the most respected photojournalists of our time: Carol Guzy, Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Lynsey Addario, Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Paula Bronstein, Pulitzer Prize finalist Justyna Mielnikiewicz, award-winning photojournalist Svet Jacqueline, award-winning photojournalist and 20+ other world-renowned photojournalists.”
“Bangladesh, the world’s largest delta, is a direct victim of global warming. Increased natural disasters like cyclones and oceanic tidal waves affect Bangladesh’s coastal area. The coastal lowlands of this country have millions who, ironically, depend on the sea for their livelihood. As rising sea levels and unusually high tidal waves encroach the lowlands of Bangladesh, the coastal areas face increased salinity. Fishing communities in Bangladesh report that the availability of many local species has declined with the silting up of river beds, changes in temperature, and earlier flooding.”
“As a mother of 4 boys, there are some days that it truly feels like I am raising cavemen. I call them my wild things, goober b**ts, and terd babies. They are everywhere, doing everything, ALL the time. I can barely keep up. It leads me to ponder all the ways humans started as primitive creatures and somehow we have evolved to what we are today. Our children are still born with the same primitive instincts to run, explore, and learn- but we try to contain them, and ourselves, to this unattainable idea of perfection. Women, especially, are born into these modern expectations of being beautiful.”

“I want to tell a story about the Drag Queen lifestyle. The main part of their life is performance; I attended many shows and competitions to capture the best of it. Whether it’s beloved plays, costumes or adult performances, the ability to dress up and play characters is core to artistic expression.”
“For a little over a year, I sought to acquire or borrow old photographs of Macau, captured in black and white, between 1930 and 1990, in various formats and then attempted to find the original locations of the old photos and superimpose them over their contemporary sites. The end result is a striking portrayal of just how much the city has transformed over the decades.”
“The Queen is dead. The Royal sailors, not the elite corps, escort the coffin. The ancient ritual, so out of time, is surprisingly powerful. Like all rituals, made so that the people can see. See that the world stood the shock and is ready to enter the unknown smoothly, and peacefully. Everything flows around the ritual: the procession, the mighty army, the endless queue. People seem hungry for meaning and stability. Only behind their many eyes, as if peeking through somebody’s windows, one can catch a hint of it: history’s frightening turmoil, the cold wind of unstoppable change.”
