Unshaven and working while on holiday, French President Emmanuel Macron is captured candidly in a photo shared to his official photographers' Instagram page.

Photographer Mitch Epstein explores the divisive topic of land ownership in the United States and how diverse communities come together to fight against the destruction and confiscation of the land.

A local South African commercial photographer has found himself in the epicenter of the country's most recent political unrest that has disrupted communities and left people starving, and has shifted his focus to photojournalism to make sure it does not go unseen.

In a role that is open until October 22, the United Kingdom's Cabinet Office is looking for a photographer to document and "promote the work of Ministers and the wider government visually." The job involves international travel, constantly changing requirements, and frequent after-hours work.

There aren't many ways to get intimate access to the behind-the-scenes of government as a photog. Your best option is probably to try and snag a spot as the official White House photographer, but those jobs are hard to come by. A senator from Vermont, however, has found another way: get a day job as a Senator and moonlight as an amateur photographer.

In 2002, photographer Greg Heisler was asked to photograph former PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat. Now, eleven years later, we get to hear the story behind that photo.

At the time, Heisler was already in Gaza city photographing former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. And even though the photo of Arafat was a very simple shot taken using a wooden four-by-five camera, a black velvet backdrop and a simple soft box, it's still fascinating to hear exactly what went into getting it.
