One World, One Day

One World, One Day

Scheduled and spontaneous. Scenic and very focused. Anguish and joy.

AP photographers and their worldwide coverage featured in the March 2023 installment of The Shot was shot on a single day, March 1, 2023. This sampling of what AP brought to the world’s attention, using Sony equipment in still photographs and video is a peek into our 177-year-old-mission to inform factually, with originality and creativity.

Thank you for looking.


The Shot is a monthly series showcasing top photojournalism from photographers at The Associated Press. Each month, AP photographers will share the stories behind some of their iconic imagery.
