Every year since 1955 an international jury has met in Holland under the auspices of the World Press Photo Foundation to choose the world's finest press photographs. Universally recognised as the definitive competition for photographic reporting, it has been described by Michael Rand as 'the international photographic contest'. Publishing the results of the 47th annual World Press Photo Contest, this exceptional book contains the very best press photographs from the year 2003 - pictures submitted by photojournalists, picture agencies, newspapers and magazines throughout the world. Selected from thousands of images, these prizewinning photos capture the most powerful, moving and sometimes disturbing images of the year.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Always compelling; always informative,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: World Press Photo 2006 (Paperback)
I try to buy the annual edition of this photojournalism collection every year. Even now, with the proliferation of web-based communication and international news sites at our fingertips, we don't always see some of these compelling, important images. Not only are they amazing photos, but they're accompanied by often-moving stories that explain the history behind the image and what was happening at the time it was captured. The stories aren't often told in our day-to-day news broadcasts, yet they're usually more important than the news we're actually served by the press.
I've been fortunate enough to see some of these thoughtfully compiled photos in person, at exhibits in Amsterdam and Paris. If the traveling expedition doesn't make it to an area near to you, I recommend buying the World Press Photo books.
