New York City, NY | December 4, 2014. “Angered over a Staten Island grand jury's decision to not indict a NYC police officer, protesters, including the family of Eric Garner, march across the Brooklyn Bridge. Thousands of NYers turned out to protest in Foley Park across from One Police Plaza before splitting into several groups,” writes Lowy of this shot. The significantly smaller size and weight of Sony mirrorless cameras enables Lowy to go where the shot takes him—whether it’s on a glacier in Iceland or the top of the Brooklyn Bridge in this breaking-news situation. © Ben Lowy

Because of their small size and light weight, Lowy was able to climb this glacier in Iceland carrying four Sony camera bodies and six lenses—a feat that he says would have been all but impossible with traditional SLR gear. © Ben Lowy

Ferguson, Missouri after the Michael Brown verdict. One of the things Lowy is passionate about with the new Sony cameras is that the electronic viewfinders (EVF) enable him to see the instant of capture as it happens. With traditional SLR technology the reflex mirror flips up during exposure and blocks the photographer’s view. In breaking news situations that lost second often means the difference between getting or losing the shot.

Ferguson, Missouri after the Michael Brown verdict. The compact size of Sony mirrorless cameras and lenses allows Lowy to blend into new situations and have much greater mobility. “I make better images if I just bleed into the background. So using smaller equipment helps me blend in better,” he says. Shot with a Sony Cyber‑Shot DSC‑RX1R Compact Digital Camera with a Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 35mm f/2 Lens. © Ben Lowy

The Afghan High. In Afghanistan, Lowy photographed the world of the drug trade. Here an addict pauses after mainlining heroin in a Kabul shooting gallery that was once the Russian Cultural Center. A single hit of the narcotic costs less than 50 cents. © Ben Lowy

Hurricane Sandy, 2012. Seaside Heights, NJ. shot on November 4, 2012. Lowy writes: "The Star Jet roller coaster sits in the calm surf off the coast of New Jersey’s hard hit shore, days after hurricane Sandy decimated its boardwalk home and sent the ride tumbling into the sea.” © Ben Lowy

Haiti Revolution. On his site Lowy writes: "In February 2004, in the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the former priest-turned-politician, faced a violent rebellion and eventual overthrow by urban gangs and former members of the police and army. Over the course of a humid Caribbean month open warfare raged through Haiti’s slums, the dead bodies of traitors and informants lay festering in the sun, and flaming blockades of rubbish ground movement to a halt." © Ben Lowy

Iraq: "Immediately following a grenade attack on their commander's tent, soldiers of the 101st Airborne carry away one of the wounded from the scene. The attack was carried out by Sergeant Hasan Akbar of the 326th Engineer Battalion injured 14 soldiers and killed two,” writes Lowy of this image. © Ben Lowy

Haiti was struck by a magnitude 7 earthquake on January 12, 2010 which caused widespread devastation, massive homelessness, and nearly a quarter of a million deaths. © Ben Lowy

"The Second Gulf War against Saddam Hussein's Iraq was brief, violent, and possibly the most heavily documented conflict in the history of mankind. These images are from numerous trips from the start of the war up through 2007. Iraq was my first war, and some of my first work as a professional photojournalist." © Ben Lowy
