We are fragile creatures, and it is from this weakness, not despite it, that we discover the possibility of true joy.
—Desmond Tutu, Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World
Fragility, vulnerability, resilience in despair, gratitude in the revelations of the universe and experiences that humble you to the core are often testament to the purest form of joy. Joy can mean different things to different people and reveal itself in hundreds of different ways, if only we took a mere glance at the world beyond ourselves. At a time when little seems to be merry, understanding joy, seeking it and capturing its sparse moments can be arduous at best. Despite it all, and perhaps because of it, we keep going back to those snapshots that are an ode to glimmers of joy in our day-to-day life, hope in spaces that lack it and those that make us feel the most alive. We turned to five photographers, each one distinct from the other in style, story and perspective, who spoke about what is joy to them, how they capture it and their experiences of finding it in spaces that are amiss of it.
