Ten Time Featured Photos in 2021 / From the shocking image of the burning of Hindu corpses during the Corona to the US border patrol clash with immigrants

Fars News Agency – Visual Group – Alireza Sepahvand: Every year in November, TIME Magazine’s photography team comes together to select the best from thousands of images taken by photographers around the world throughout the year. Items that lead to the final 10 photos from the top 10 photographers, which are among the best in terms of composition, shocking, newsworthy moments and features like that. And showing photos created with the ingenuity of photographers here, of course, is not limited to pressing the camera shutter button.

Photographers in the situations they capture in the frame of their photos, deeply care about the people and environments in their images and create connections that go beyond a moment and everything does not end just by pressing the shutter button. Like Constantine Tsakalidis, who in his photographs of forest fires in his own country, Greece, while assessing his own safety, also cares about the health of the people. Or Meridith Cohoot, who is at the forefront of Covid Wave-19 and works 15 to 18 hours a day with staff – something she says is crucial to building trust with people in her photos and allowing them to enter.

These 10 images tell the story of a year full of hardship and perseverance, a year in which the photographs give us a glimpse into a world that often seems out of reach. The images and people who made them show us the great power of photography: they move us, connect us, and remind us of our common humanity.

Here are the top ten photos of 2021:
