James Nachtwey: "Idomeni," Greece, 2016

Refugees from the Idomeni camp cross a raging river that was freezing cold from melting snow. Fleeing wars in Syria and Afghanistan, repression in Iran, and poverty in South Asia, refugees camped at the border between Greece and Macedonia. When the border crossing was closed, they waited for weeks in a makeshift tent encampment in the mud, the cold, and the rain. Attempting to find another way across the border, some of them set out on foot, searching for an opening.

Title: "Marilyn Monroe"

Douglas Kirkland: "Marilyn Monroe," Los Angeles, 1961

For Kirkland, the photo shoot of Monroe was like a fantasy: "I'd had a very small-town background and here, the superstar of all superstars was five feet away from me." Monroe removed her robes and got under the white silken sheets to pose for the portrait. Still in his twenties, Kirkland was embarrassed and shot the photographs as quickly as he could. He believes that the photographs were so strong because his "sexual desire was channeled into the camera."
