We’re very sad to hear of the passing of Magnum photographer Ian Berry 🖤

Very sad news about the great Magnum photographer Ian Berry (1934–2026). He was always so generous with his time. When I asked him for a few words about his time collaborating with the Observer art director Romek Marber (1925–2020), a three-hour conversation offered a wonderful insight.

It's an art - I like to use fill in flash and a big camera when shooting street photography. I am (mostly) inconspicuous up until I take the shot. After a while you get used to seeing something happen before it happens, or you see something happen and go back and wait for it to happen again.

Scientists are often too specialised or cautious to spell out how severe our crises are. Few name the core driver: population growth. At 8.3bn & still rising by 70m a year toward 10.3bn, it multiplies every environmental pressure. Population Matters has the facts: populationmatters.org/the-facts/

If people dismiss the severity of our environmental crises, they either haven’t engaged with the science — or the scientists themselves haven’t been able to paint the full picture. Many researchers are highly specialised, focusing on narrow slices of the problem, 👇 populationmatters.org/the-facts/
