One of my all-time favorite photos (by the great @louisstettnerestate) goes up for auction on October 30 at the @leitz_photographica_auction along with other gems. Register here: www.leitz-auction.com/en/Photograp...

Today on my IG feed, the heart-tugging work of Ghanaian photographer Carlos Idun-Tawiah. Carlos recreates images from his old family photo albums but also creates images from moments that he WISHED had happened but didn’t. It’s beautiful work. On display atParis Photo at the Galeria Alta booth.

My favorite photo auction—the Leitz Photographica Auction—just dropped its online catalog and there are too many extraordinary images not to share.
Photos: Elliott Erwitt, Ernst Haas, & Will McBride
The auction: October 30 at 12:30pm EST.

Hes got an entire book of sled-dog photos!

I interviewed the great photographer Ragnar Axelsson, whose work I have been following for the last 20 years. The story appears on a just-launched, supremely ambitious, really cool site called The Photographic Index, and you can read it here: thephotographicindex.com/blog/the-man...

Today on my IG feed, a few outstanding photographers whose work you might not have seen. Here, a small sample: Alex Harris, Anne Rearick, John Simmons. See the rest on @billshapiro

SOME NEWS. I’ve got a new project. It’s called BluePhoto.co.
We all know how unstable the photo world has become—galleries closing, Instagram chaos, the A.I. shitstorm, etc.—so we created the BluePhoto Collective, a site that values true photographic talent and honest-to-God curation.

Thanks a million, mark!

I was recently interviewed by @eyeshot_magazine about my years at LIFE, how I look at pictures, some of the common missteps I see, and a ton more. (They asked fantastic questions!) Take a look:

Today on my IG feed (@billshapiro), Russian photographer Nikolay Bakharev’s new book, “Cheryomushki,” from @stanleybarker.bsky.social

Watch.

This is real.

So far…breezy, shallow, entertaining, frustrating.

Photographer Alex Harris and I traveled through New Mexico to learn about the future of the state’s oldest and newest crops: chile peppers and cannabis. Our story for @newmexicomag is here: www.newmexicomagazine.org/blog/post/ne...

Thank you, Mark!

Yipes! You are so right. I wonder how many others I get wrong in my mind’s eye. I just saw a Todd Webb of a boy and a baguette….or was it a garden hose?

When my old friend Jonathan Gluck was diagnosed with cancer, he was given 18 months to live. That was 20 years ago. His book, "An Exercise in Uncertainty," is wise, moving, thoughtful, & funny. It's about living with the unpredictable—something we all do.

Thanks so much for this. Love going deep on a photo like this of an icon like Ali.

Always pushed expectations

What a difference it makes! It’s one reason why a shot like this won’t come around for a very long time

Thanks so much!!

I spoke with Neil for the @nytimes.com ; below, more of Leifer's photos from that classic night
