Documentary photographer Anastasia Taylor-Lind first shared behind-the-lens moments from her work in Ukraine, then used physical postcards to engage a community of users around the country’s long-running conflict. Even a longform writer like National Geographic contributor Neil Shea has found a niche, creating short narratives that bring scenes from his reporting to smartphones around the world.
