![John Moore’s latest accomplishment in the photojournalism world, was winning the 2018 World Press Photo of the Year. His winning picture was part of a series of work on the undocumented crossings at the southern border and showed a young girl crying while her mother is detained by border patrol agents. Recounting the events that transpired, Moore said: “She [the border patrol agent] said ‘Look, you gotta set her down.’ and so when she set her daughter down, she immediately started to cry.” Moore has had some challenges with this photo being taken out of context, even Time Magazine cut out and used part of the photo in a misleading way. The actual story behind the photo is that the family was being taken, together, to a processing center and if they were to be separated was unknown. In his talk, Moore stressed how important it is to have the full story behind a photograph before making assumptions.
