As 2024 unfolds, it brings with it a tapestry of emotions sorrow, despair, and glimmers of hope. The images that have already emerged this year are not just snapshots of history; they are raw, poignant reflections of the human condition in its most fragile and resilient form. From moments of collective grief to acts of defiance and resilience, these visuals capture the deep contrasts that define our era. In the midst of challenges, there are also sparks of hope, moments that remind us of our ability to endure, rebuild, and dream anew. In this article, we explore the iconic images of 2024, each one a testament to the complexity of the human experience, reflecting our darkest hours and our brightest possibilities.

Vinesh Phogat from Olympics
Wrestler Vinesh Phogat once again made headlines this year by beating the world champion in the semi finals of the Paris Olympics and moving to the finals. This image and the sequence that followed encapsulates the collective pride we felt for her, which would morph into sorrow mere days later when we came to know of her disqualification and her subsequent retirement.
Brazilian surfer doing the pose in the Olympics Brazilian surfer Gabriel Medina scored the highest single wave score in the history of the Olympics, a 9.90. He pointed towards the sky with one finger just after he kicked out, leading to the moment of brilliance being captured by a French action photographer.
Trump assassination attempt On July 13, 2024, Thomas Matthew Crooks fired shots into a Trump rally from an elevated position outside the venue while Trump was giving a speech near Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump was injured and was bleeding from his right ear after the shooting.
Israeli munitions hitting Lebanon On October 1st 2024, Israel launched airstrikes targeting Hezbollah’s highranking commanders, neutralising them and eliminating a large part of their combat potential. Israel announced the start of a ground operation against Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon and entered the country for the first time since 2006.

MINIATURE MARVELS

His work goes beyond beauty, documenting behaviour, ecology, and the fragile poetry of life in miniature. Asian Photography spoke to him about inspiration, hardships, mistakes, bucket shot and more.

How Close Should You Get to a Subject? Ethics in Macro
Macro photography is all about getting close — closer than the eye can see. It invites us into intimate worlds: The spiralled symmetry of a snail's shell, the fine hairs on a bee's leg, the dew resting on a spider's web. But as we close in, a question looms that goes beyond technique or gear: How close should we get?

OnePlus Nord 5 Camera Review - New Midrange King?
Last year, when we reviewed the OnePlus Nord 4, it left us wanting more. This year, the Nord 5 arrives with bold promises - it's the first Nord to feature a Snapdragon 8-series chipset and the first mainstream OnePlus device with a 144Hz OLED display. But what we're really here for is the camera - especially since it borrows tech from the flagship OnePlus 13. While pricing hasn't been officially confirmed (we received both the Nord 5 and CE5 under embargo), we expect it to stay close to last year's launch price - between ₹30,000-₹35,000. According to OnePlus, this is their most complete Nord yet. So, do the cameras live up to that claim? Let's find out!

DECAY DIARIES: DISCOVERING THE BEAUTY OF ROT, RUST, AND RUIN THROUGH MACRO
Decay is usually seen as a sign of failure, of neglect, corrosion, and abandonment. It marks the places we leave behind and the things we no longer touch. But for those who carry a macro lens, decay is not the end of something, but the beginning of a fascinating visual story. Up close, rot becomes a rich texture, rust becomes a complex pattern, and ruin becomes poetry. Welcome to the world of Decay Diaries, where beauty isn’t found in perfection, but in what is slowly falling apart.

Apple's iOS 26 Brings Changes to Imaging Experience, Camera APP and Photos
Apple's new design overhaul brings an update to the Camera app in iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe 26, making everyday photography feel more immersive and intuitive. The redesigned UI prioritizes easy reach for core controls while minimizing distractions. Buttons, sliders, and toggles now live within a refined control layer that adapts as you frame shots or switch modes. In the app, navigation and tools morph fluidly to stay out of the way until you need them, keeping the focus squarely on capturing the moment. New gestures streamline access to pro tools, and the layout now curves with the edges of modern displays for a more cohesive, hardware-conscious experience.

WHERE DOES MACRO END AND MICRO BEGIN?
Macro photography opens the door to a world we rarely notice-a place where the texture of a leaf becomes a jungle, the surface of a coin a lunar landscape. But how close is too close? At what point does macro stop being macro and enter the realm of micro photography? The line between the two isn't just a matter of semantics. It's about tools, technique, and intent. In this article, we'll draw that line.
