The 100 best photographs of the year were published by TIME magazine in November.
"In 2023, a year defined by the rapid growth of AI images, it has become clear that photojournalism is more important than ever," writes Katherine Pomerantz, the magazine's photo editor.
The images highlight the major events and turning points of the outgoing year. The collection includes photographs of the aftermath of the earthquake in Turkey, the crash of passenger trains in India, the coronation of the new British monarch, Charles III, the regions of Israel hit by Hamas attacks and the many wounded civilians in Gaza, as well as the Russian-Ukrainian war.
This year's TIME magazine selection includes 9 photos from Ukraine. Last year, the number of photos from Ukraine was much higher - 25 images by leading Ukrainian and foreign photographers.
The photographs show children injured in the war, soldiers on the front line, medics at work in a stabilization point and civilians escaping a Russian missile attack:
"I have photographed many funerals of Ukrainian soldiers, like any other photographer. My colleagues and I were on our way to Pervomaisk on an editorial assignment to photograph a soldier's funeral," said Oleksandr Magula, the author of the photo in TIME's selection. "We heard a distinctive rustling in the sky, followed by an explosion and panic. The first thing I saw was a mother and two girls running towards me, terrified. That's when I took my first pictures".
