News Photographer
of the Year
Chris McGrath
“Chris’s winning portfolio is an unflinching look at the horrors of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. We are at a moment in time where the very best news photographs convey both information and emotional resonance. Chris’s courageous work from the battlefields and towns throughout Ukraine demand that we pay attention to each scene. Whether hordes of citizens on an overcrowded train platform to a wretched, pointless death on display on random street, his images act as a cautionary visual proverb. Take them in and recall them as a warning of the violence that man inflicts on man.”
