Canon Europe and Getty Images have revealed a series of iconic images, shot by some of the world's leading photographers, which represent defining moments from the past decade and bring to light the power of photography and the role it plays in helping to affect change around the world...
Known for enabling people to tell the stories that need to be told, the Canon EOS 5D series celebrates its 10th anniversary with an initiative that showcases ten amazing images that tell some of these stories. From exposing the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian army, to uncovering illegal logging of rare and endangered trees in Madagascar, the EOS 5D has been the camera of choice for many professional photographers over the past decade and has captured some of the world’s most significant and important moments.
Hobyo, Somalia, October 27, 2008. When Veronique de Viguerie and her journalist colleague travelled to Somalia to meet with one of the pirate chiefs it was still an unknown story outside of the region. The resulting report was ground-breaking and was published as the first landmark feature on the subject, just as it was about to enter headlines globally. Taken on a Canon EOS 5D Mark I.
Gadabedji, Niger, June 27, 2010. Marco Di Lauro partnered with UNICEF UK to document the serious food crisis gripping the West African nation of Niger. His surreal, striking photograph captured the attention of the public by offering something new, a different side to a widely reported issue. The impact of the work helped raise several million dollars in a few months to help the Nigerian people. Taken on a Canon EOS 5D Mark II.
