I’m thinking not. Having had my fair share of tear gas, it’s not fun. Even a block away it’ll warm up your face because it’s just in the air. The masks are literally just got breathing and seeing, but it’s still very uncomfortable up close.
Incredible shot then. I go to the World Press Exhibition each year and this is the kind of image you see taking the awards. There’s a ot of perfect timings all happening at once for it to work out.
I was 100% thinking that too! I saw it and immediately was like “wow, that looks like it will win a prize.”
Cool to hear you go to the press exhibition each year! You must see a lot of amazing photos there.
I’m an amateur photographer and mostly do insects.
Incredible timing, positioning, and framing. Also preparation I assume, being able to take the photo in that environment. Even the wind had to be right! Remarkable.
I have doubts it’s a “shot” based on the vibrant comp of the individual and their reaction to what’s in their proximity. But most noteably, the image isn’t 8:10 as the majority of cameras shoot. But it could be all real and, shit on a blad or something, and in that case it’s a stunning example of photojournalism.
Unfortunately, these are the times we live in now. Editting, photomanip, and now AI are all just too easy
Is this OC? It’s a brilliant shot

As mentioned in comments below, it’s a Chicago Tribune photographer, Stacey Wescott. Amazing photographer!

Not sure what you’re trying to say tbh. What does that have to do with the author or quality of the pic?
And my apologies, but an error is disallowing me to edit the other reply.
“Shit” = “Shot”

Many other formats exist and are extremely common (3:2, 1:1, 4:3…)
And more importantly, cropping is a thing.
Exactly right, Joe 👍
Who’s Joe???
