The most important and emotional shots of 2015 from TIME magazine
In 2015, TIME magazine sent journalists to Chechnya, Croatia, Cuba, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, El Salvador, France, Germany, Greece, Iran, Malaysia, Nepal, Syria, Turkey and Vietnam, not to mention the United States, to tell about the most significant events. Time after time, sometimes in the most terrible conditions, these people proved the importance of photojournalism in times of abrupt changes and acute crises, in moments of the most terrible losses and bright successes. Now that 2015 is over, we have the opportunity to see the most important and emotional shots from around the world in one collection.
