Time.com : Edouard Elias—Getty Images / Aug. 21, 2012 Wounded civilians are seen in a field hospital in Aleppo after an air strike destroyed a bakery, killing 20 and injuring 80. "I shot this on the night of Aug. 21st. A bakery had been bombed, and cars carried the wounded civilians to the Dar al-Shifa hospital. It was a difficult moment, working among the wounded and dead. It was my first war and I had the responsibility to make pictures at this moment, even if I wouldn't go inside the hospital. Looking back at the picture, I remember how I felt sitting outside the hospital with my emotions, near tears. When fighters were wounded, I understood — it's war. But civilian boys, children, women...it wasn't the same feeling."

Vanity Fair : Henry Leutwyler, a lifelong enthusiast of ballet who has spent almost three decades photographing the art, describes it as “more than just dance.” Ballet, he says, “is an expression of human emotion in all its forms—love, despair, passion, hope, and, most importantly, joy.” After four years of taking studio portraits for the New York City Ballet, Leutwyler was given an all-access pass to capture just that—the spirit of dance, from rehearsal to curtain call. The photographs, taken with his 35mm Leica camera, along with his studio portraits, can now be seen in his book Ballet, published by Steidl, and accompanying exhibition at the Foley Gallery.
