From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Two photographic heavyweights have teamed up on an unusual assignment – spending the day in Harlem, shooting images with a camera phone.
In a break from their usual celebrity subject matter, Brit David Bailey and American Bruce Weber took this collection of pictures on a Nokia Lumia 1020 over the course of one day in the New York City neighbourhood.
The pair visited a host of local businesses, including the Apollo Theatre, Westside Boxing Gym and Harlem Shake Restaurant.
Mr Weber said of the project: "I don’t do digital and this is the first time I have really gone out in the world and done a digital sitting."
The photos are currently being exhibited at the Nicholls & Clarke Building in Shoreditch, East London.
The exhibition, entitled "Weber X Bailey by Nokia Lumia 1020" will run until 21 September and is free to members of the public.
