BBC News Article : Love, loss and duty: Ukraine’s photojournalists share stories of war. Photojournalists may read this article . . .
In the three years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, hundreds of photographers have documented the human impact of the war on the front line and in civilian areas.
Some of them have shared stories about their photos which have appeared in BBC coverage since February 2022.
“To lose your friend in an attack inside Russia, rather than defending our country in Ukraine, is very difficult,” he said. “I took this photo because of the emotional impact it had on me. It says a lot about the situation and how hard it was for them.”
Congratulations to all the winners and participants of the Bangladesh Press Photo Contest 2024 organized by Drik.
It’s important to appreciate the power of a single image in the world of press media and publication. As a pressman, I want to say that a single picture is a strong matter.
The exhibition opening day at Drik sounds like an exciting event to look forward to. I’m sure it will be a fantastic experience for all involved. Hope to see you all . . .

Cyclone Rimal has started to affect in the Dhaka city since this morning. It is torrential rain with stormy wind, water has accumulated somewhere on the streets. I put on a raincoat and went out on my motorcycle and to go to Drik for Bangladesh Press Photo Contest 2024 judging. I reached Drik on time. Other judges arrived, after a while our judging is started.
Here is my short observation about this Press Photo Contest as a judge: Photojournalists of Bangladesh participated in this Press Photo contest as they proved once again how powerful a single image is ! Which surpasses other branches of Press Media.
