Capturing the moment — it’s authenticity and emotion — is a difficult task that a mere few can master. The photographers we hire have captured such moments. In celebration, sadness, awe and intimacy of profiling people of New Orleans, they have captured it all. We’ve pored over our albums and found photos that have won awards and resurfaced ones that made us pause. Here are our best photos of 2019.
