Photojournalist Gary Knight closed day 1 of Photo Week 2016 with a riveting discussion about choices that you make as a photojournalist. In his talk, he spanned his amazing career — from his first camera and living in Indochina, all the way through the Iraq war — and offered advice to photographers in each phase of their journey.

Victoria Will treated us to a masterclass in posing at Photo Week 2016, and kicked off the session with a talk that spanned from the first image she ever sold — a small picture of a croissant which ran in the New York Times and sold by Getty Images — to her experiences with the many celebrities she's photographed over the years.
