Leading up to Magnum Photos’ 68th Annual General Meeting, the cooperative’s members were asked to select “An Image that Changed Everything”. The idea was to give photographers an opportunity to reflect on their careers and identify a single picture that represents a turning point in their lives as image makers. Over fifty Magnum photographers have submitted an image with an accompanying story.
From June 8th to June 12th, these images will be made available as Signed Magnum Square Prints for $100 at store.magnumphotos.com. Magnum Square Prints are printed on 6 x 6” (15.24cm x 15.24cm) archival paper — what you see on Instagram is what you get. They are not editioned by quantity, but editioned by time, as these items will not be made available outside the sale window.
The week before the sale opens, Magnum will invite the public to participate in this project, posting their own “Im- age That Changed Everything” on Instagram with the hashtag #ChangedEverything. Magnum photographer David Alan Harvey will select the three best entries with that hashtag, and the authors of the posts will be announced as winners on JUNE 8th, each receiving a free SIGNED Square Print.
