Manny "PacMan" Pacquiao raises his hands in victory and to God after defeating Timothy "Desert Storm" Bradley in the third fight of their trilogy at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV on April 9, 2016. The "Pride of the Philippines" would outbox Bradley and win by Unanimous Decision on all three judges scorecards 116-110. Pacquiao + Bradley fought 3 fights and a total of 36 rounds. In their 1st meeting in 2012, Bradley was awarded the highly controversial split decision. Boxing analysts, media + fans thought the "Pride of the Philippines" had clearly beaten Bradley. In their rematch in 2014, Pacquiao would reclaim the WBO Welterweight Title. By the time they would meet for the 3rd and final time, Pacquiao had been talking about hanging up the gloves in order to focus on serving the Philippino people. After defeating Bradley in their final fight he officially announced his retirement from boxing. The Filipino boxing icon would claim his next victory outside the ring five weeks later when he was elected as a Senator of the Philippines in May 2016. Photo by JP YIM.

Nika, 24, a sniper for the Ukrainian army. 2 September 2016. Bakhmut, Donbass, East Ukraine. In June of 2016, Ukrainian women were finally given the right to serve in combat positions. Before that, they were barred from serving on the front line as part of the armed service. However, since the beginning of Maidan, despite rules, women were consistently on the front line risking their lives in volunteer positions, sometimes claiming to be "medic" on paper, and serving roles such as being snipers without legal representation from the government.

August 26th, 2015, La Habana, Cuba. Before the 1959 revolution in Cuba, there was about 15 thousand Jews living within the country's borders. Today, a mere 1500 are left. Most Jews in Cuba were business people thriving due to the adequate business environment within the country. With the arrival of Fidel Castro and his Communist ideas, many of these Jews lost their bunsiness and moved to the US, mostly in Miami. Though never persecuted, but rather well treated by the regime, most prefered to leave to prosper economically somehwere else. There are three main Jewish/Synagogues within Habana which are quite active in keeping the renmants of the community together, with the help of money coming from Jewish organizations in the US and Isreal.

The morning commute finds young schoolgirls dressed in the traditional Ao Dai. Pre-communist fashions have made a big comeback since the late 1980s when the government began to loosen restrictions.

The Persian carpet is a central element of the Iranian culture and is said to be an earthly mirror of paradise. But it is also an industry that gives work to one Iranian out of ten and is in constant search for new products and markets. It is now possible to find in TehranÕs bazaar high quality carpets (eighty knots per square centimeter) that have very little of the traditional patterns. The one in the photo is sold at about 2000Û.

These young girls, ages 11-13, use a paste made from teh tsiambara plant's roots to beautify their skin. They usually leave it on for 5 days and keep on redoing the process except on market days. The meaning of this process is called "I don't want to show you".

These images have been made for the 2010 Prix Pictet Commission, working in cooperation with the United Kingdom based NGO, Azafady, to show issues around land, forests and poverty in this region of Madagascar. The purpose of the images and stories collected here are to illustrate the lack of develoment and Azafady's efforts to promote sustainable development to improve the lives of the people and how the land is used.

The Marché Hyppolite, also known as the Marché en Fer burns along with other parts of the downtown of Port-au-Prince. This market dates to 1849 and is inscribed with slogans of work and fraternity. I has been set ablaze by arsonists, probably as part of retaliation against store owners who have fought back against looters. Note woman in yellow dress in lower right trying to put out the fire in her stall with a small bucket and water from the gutter.
