Tim Hetherington—Magnum

We lost great photographers this year. They photographed Presidents and popes, rock stars and rebels. They risked their lives, and some of them gave their lives, so that we can better understand our own, the place we inhabit, and more importantly, the areas of the world we would otherwise never see.

Getty Images Partners with the International Committee of the Red Cross to launch its new ‘Healthcare in Danger’ Campaign ’

Award-winning Reportage photographer Tom Stoddart, shoots new ‘Healthcare in Danger’ campaign and sponsorship of new TEDx event ignite partnership

LONDON, 29th November, 2011 -
Getty Images is pleased to announce that it is partnering with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). As part of the agreement, Reportage by Getty Images sponsored the ICRC’s TEDx event, TEDxRC², which took place in Geneva and across the globe, via webcast, on Sunday 27th November. As part of the partnership, award-winning Reportage photographer Tom Stoddart has shot the organisation’s recent ICRC campaign, ‘Healthcare in Danger’. The initiative aims to address the widespread and severe impact of illegal and forceful acts that obstruct the delivery of sound health care in armed conflicts and other situations of violence.

The print campaign launched in August, 2011 and can be seen across multiple platforms, including print and public transport. Getty Images will continue to support the ICRC over the next two years by producing a body of work from its Reportage photographers which will be published in magazines around the world, viewable across digital platforms from Tumblr to Ipad Apps and will culminate in a touring exhibition.

Nick Evans-Lombe, Chief Operating Officer, Getty Images said: “We are delighted to partner with the ICRC for its ‘Healthcare in Danger’ campaign and beyond. Through the images that Tom shot for the print campaign, to our involvement in the TEDx event, we hope to help raise awareness and highlight the importantissues faced in war-torn communities.”

‘Multiplying the power of humanity’ was the theme of the International Committee of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement’s first-ever TEDx event, called TEDxRC². It lasted for two hours and focused on innovative and thought-provoking ideas for tackling the world’s toughest humanitarian challenges.

Sponsored by a number of global brands including Reportage by Getty Images, the event featured seven speakers, including Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, with around 700 invitees attending.

At the cocktail party following the event, a giant 10 x 6 meter screen presented stunning award winning images from the Reportage photographers including a very powerful selection from The Arab Spring.

“Violence against health-care facilities and personnel must end. It’s a matter of life and death,” said Yves Daccord, the director-general of the ICRC. “The human cost is staggering: civilians and fighters often die from their injuries simply because they are prevented from receiving timely medical assistance.”

“Addressing the issue effectively will require humanitarian dialogue, respect for the law and the adoption of appropriate measures by States, armed forces and non-State actors,” said Mr Daccord. “The ICRC is committed to working with all concerned in order to secure effective and impartial health care. Deliberate assaults on health-care personnel, facilities and transports, as well as on the wounded and sick, violate international law. The Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols set out the right of the wounded and sick – combatants and civilians alike – to be respected and protected during armed conflict and to receive timely medical treatment.”

I had been waiting for two weeks to get a time in the studio in school. I had another session booked, and in mind, but unfortunately that one didn’t happend. So I asked my classmate Frida if she wanted to help me out a bit. Thinks the session lasted for around 40 minutes, due lack of time during other projects. But this is one shot we came up with!

We’re pleased to announce the launch of a new book by Veronique de Viguerie and her journalist colleague Manon Querouil-Bruneel, ‘Carnets De Reportages Du XXIeme Siecle’ (’21st Century Reportage Diaries’).

This collection of anecdotes, drawings, notes, and personal photos, gives the reader an intimate insight into the profession, and how these amazing stories were brought to life.

Report From World Press Photo Masterclass

Once a year, 12 young photographers are chosen to attend the World Press Photo Joop Swart Masterclass, where they are paired with 6 industry professionals for an intense week of critiques, discussions, and portfolio reviews. Our own Antonio Bolfo, Sebastian Liste, Kitra Cahana, and Alinka Echeverria attended this year’s class.

It was a transformative experience, as related by Bolfo:

“The World Press Photo’s Joop Swart Masterclass was, by all accounts, an amazing week. I was not sure what to expect, and was immediately surprised by the high caliber operation that World Press was running. Another thing I noticed right off the bat was the sincerity and humility that all the students had. This fostered an open learning environment that allowed us to be honest with ourselves and with each other. Everyone took away something different from their week in Amsterdam, and for me the week was about re-learning who I was as an artist and photographer. I learned the importance of personalizing my work, of interpreting the people and stories that I try to be a part of. I understand that for me it is not good enough to compose an aesthetically good photo, I need to digest what it is I am seeing and express that which I am feeling. It was an invaluable experience, one that I can honestly say changed the way I see and feel. I am forever in debt to Aidan Sullivan, Alison Morley, and Michele McNally for nominating me and the World Press Photo judges for selecting me for this year’s masterclass.”

Prior to the class each student prepared a photo essay around the topic of Respect. A selection of their images is above (and some images from the class), please see a larger edit from all of the students here.
