63-64 Lewis Hine (1874–1940) was an American sociologist and photographer. His photographs were instrumental in changing the child labor laws in the United States. The Library of Congress holds more than five thousand Hine photographs, including examples of his child labor and Red Cross photographs, his work portraits, and his WPA and TVA images.

Eugène Atget (1857–1927) was a French flâneur and a pioneer of documentary photography, noted for his determination to document all of the architecture and street scenes of Paris before their disappearance to modernization. An inspiration for the surrealists and other artists, his genius was only recognized by a handful of young artists in the last two years of his life, and he did not live to see the wide acclaim his work would eventually receive. (Photo shot in Paris, France, 1900.)
65-66 Rémy Artiges is a photographer who lives and works in Paris. (Photo shot in France, 2008.)
John Vink, born in Belgium, studied photography at a fine arts school in 1968 and began working as a freelance journalist three years later. He joined Agence Vu in 1986 and
won the Eugene Smith Award for his work Water in the Sahel, a photo-essay on the management of water South of the Sahara. Vink became a full member of Magnum Photos in 1997. He is based in Cambodia since 2000 and published Avoir 20 Ans à Phnom Penh that year.
