1. Europe's new borders (Photographic Museum of Humanity)
Powerful images from Europe's borders, captured with drones. In the photographer's own words: «My project, Europe’s New Borders, offers a sense of scale on the dehumanized border crisis unfolding in Europe throughout the last two years. It covers most of the borders of the European Union, the transformation of these, and the consequences, big and small, concrete and abstract, for the refugees and migrants.»
2. Mass Exodus (Reuters)
