Pairing Magnums's "venerable photographers alongside a handful of Vice's favorite new voices," Photo Editor Matthew Leifheit said, "Although the approaches to documentation are diverse, we believe both established and emerging photographers benefit from sharing pages."

Magnum Photos Creative Director Gideon Jacobs added, "I think that this project exists as an assertion of the value of great pictures in a time when billions are made, uploaded and shared every day."

Vice Presents the Photo Issue

NEW YORK, N.Y. -- Today Vice presents the edition of its annual photo issue, which explores the common ground between photojournalism and fine art. The 14th annual issue marks Vice's first major collaboration with world-renowned photographic cooperative Magnum Photos and Magnum Foundation and has been published with two separate cover images shot by Dru Donovan and Mikhael Subotzky.

Matthew Leifheit (photo editor, Vice) stated, "This year's Vice photo issue is a testament to the enduring power of photography to understand the stories of our lives. Produced in collaboration with Magnum Photos and their nonprofit arm, Magnum Foundation, our goal in working with the celebrated cooperative was to showcase relevant new work by some of their venerable photographers alongside a handful of Vice's favorite new voices. In some cases we sent young photographers out on assignment together with Magnum members; other times emerging artists were influenced by the history of great photographers who have contributed to Magnum's legacy. Although the approaches to documentation are diverse, we believe both established and emerging photographers benefit from sharing pages."

Gideon Jacobs (creative director, Magnum Photos) commented, "Magnum Photos is thrilled to collaborate with Vice on their photo issue, as few institutions do more to showcase photography from both emerging and established voices of the medium. I think that this project exists as an assertion of the value of great pictures in a time when billions are made, uploaded and shared every day. That is, the world and the way we experience it are growing in complexity and it will make us that much hungrier for simplicity. What's simpler than a still image -- a sliver of a moment, frozen in a world that never stops?"

Highlights

Highlights from the issue include:

  • Dru Donovan's Positions Taken, a collaboration with a group of men from the Fordham section of the Bronx to stage photographs that revisit their previous encounters with the NYPD. Through pictures and text, the men re-create and describe the scenes of their experiences.
  • Mikhael Subotzky's Deep Hanging, produced with fellow South African photographer Lindokuhle Sobekwa, gets a Raw new look at the realities of their home country, from Sobekwa's depiction of the lives of addicts and the underclass to a post-processing by Subotzky of the aftereffects of making photographs.
  • Alec Soth documents the dually American and foreign feeling of Nome, Alaska.
  • Bruce Gilden and Stacy Krantiz present two distinct perspectives on faith-based spaces and communities in Appalachia.
  • Curran Hatleberg and Peter van Agtmael join their strengths in creating mysterious photographs to make portraits of their respective homes in Maryland.
