“Amy, already a mother” - Bath, England
Expecting your first child is a confusing, joyous and worrying time for anyone, none more so than the mother. There are so many questions about the future that can’t be answered. I see these worries in my partners face every time I photograph her, I often feel her expressions are a reflection of my own, excitement, confusion and fear about being a good parent once she arrives, the main difference being that Amy is already a good mother, caring for our child every day since she was created. © Lloyd Wright

“Band on the Run” - India
Through the hazy evening comes a colorfully painted van of a traveling band, stopping to rest in the still-burning hill of trash. They are waiting for the next gig - a wedding in the neighborhood. Each of them has a grin at their surroundings as they have been down this road before, doing their best to entertain the crowds. They bring highlights and hopes to the people of this northern Delhi neighborhood and many more like it. © Sandra Chen Weinstein

“Anonymous soldier sits for his portrait” - Somalia
Following the drought of 2017, I was commissioned to photograph Somalia and the devastation catalyzed by the drought and subsequent famine. During the very hot days, we would be protected by a group of soldiers. During a break, a young soldier of 19 years old sat for his portrait, one of the very few times we could rest. He wished to remain anonymous due to the nature of his work. © Ty Faruki

Bright and colorful, Wayúu mochilas (bags) are one of Colombia’s most famous artisan products. As the Wayúu saying goes, “To be a woman is to know how to weave.” The tradition of weaving is highly respected within their matriarchal culture and is a symbol of wisdom, creativity, intelligence and status. “Mochilas” are handcrafted bags, each displaying a beautiful and unique pattern typical of the tribe. The complex process to elaborate each bag takes the crafter up to a month to complete. © Sebastian Jaramillo Matiz
