EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Sydney Smoke Haze" captures a haunting scene that epitomizes the devastating bushfires that ravaged New South Wales in 2019. This powerful image, selected as one of the Best of the Year News images for 2019, showcases beachgoers on Milk Beach against a backdrop of thick smoke haze engulfing Sydney's Central Business District. Taken by Steven Saphore from Australian Associated Press (AAP), this photograph serves as a stark reminder of the environmental crisis faced by Australia during that time. The smoke haze, originating from numerous bushfires across NSW, shrouds the cityscape in an eerie veil, creating an otherworldly atmosphere. The contrast between people enjoying their day at the beach and the apocalyptic conditions surrounding them is striking. It highlights both resilience and vulnerability in equal measure. Despite facing unprecedented levels of danger and uncertainty due to uncontained fires nearby, these individuals continue with their daily lives amidst chaos. This image not only documents a significant event but also encapsulates the collective experience shared by Australians during this tumultuous period. It serves as a visual testament to our ability to find solace even when confronted with adversity. Steven Saphore's skillful composition and storytelling through photography make this picture truly deserving of its recognition among the Best of 2019 News images.
