This blog will be our opportunity to give you a daily behind-the-scenes look at our photography as well as inspiring new projects.

As part of our regular features, we'll include the backstory from photo shoots, firsthand accounts from photographers in the field, profiles of legendary imagemakers, photo essays and more."


"For decades, TIME Magazine has been a showcase for the world’s best photojournalism, bearing witness to the most notable moments of history — the triumphs and the tragedies — of the past 90 years. LightBox, a blog created and curated by TIME’s photo department, proudly furthers this tradition, exploring how photography, video and visual culture help to shape and define the modern world.

Launched in 2011, LightBox provides a window into the process of how great photographs are made, and is a means of drawing attention to inspiring projects and groundbreaking work by established masters and new pioneers. LightBox immerses viewers in the visual side of the news while celebrating photographers who push boundaries across myriad subjects, themes and locations.

Beyond photo essays, our regular features include the backstory from photo shoots, firsthand accounts from photographers in the field, profiles of legendary imagemakers, news on noteworthy exhibitions and books, and exclusive looks at work in progress.
And we’re continuing to add to our regular features, including The Best Pictures of the Week (every Friday), The Images That Moved Them Most, the bi-weekly Photojournalism Links (curated by associate photo editor Mikko Takkunen), the monthly Guide to Photography Beyond the Web, and, at the end of the year, 365: A Year in Photographs.
