By Daily Mail Reporter Published: 02:36 GMT, 6 July 2013 | Updated: 04:07 GMT, 6 July 2013 On May 25, 1961, renowned documentary photographer Bruce Davidson joined a group of Freedom Riders traveling by bus from Alabama to Mississippi - a perilous journey that resulted in a series of moving images shining a spotlight on a critical moment in American history.
The powerful black-and-white photos that make up the exhibit ‘Time of Change: Civil Rights Photographs, 1961-1965,’ depict the struggle for justice and equality during a time of fearless activists, protests, marches, and police brutality. In 1962, Davidson received a Guggenheim Fellowship and continued documenting the different facets of the turbulent civil rights era, including the five-day march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, with Martin Luther King, Jr. at the helm.

Charles Fréger: “Wilder Mann” examines pagan rituals throughout Europe (PHOTOS). Charles Fréger, Courtesy of Yossi Milo Gallery, New York If you thought Santa’s naughty list was intimidating, chances are you never encountered a Krampus.
A beastlike creature that is part of the pagan folklore of Alpine countries including Austria, Hungary, and Slovenia, the Krampus was to play “bad cop” so Santa could spend time focusing on the better behaved children. The Krampus is also the first beast Charles Fréger encountered during his two-year journey through 19 European countries documenting pagan festivals. The resulting series, “Wilder Mann” is on view at Yossi Milo Gallery in New York through May 18 and is also available as a monograph titled Wilder Mann: The Image of the Savage published by Dewi Lewis Publishing. Fréger initially came into contact with the costumed “Wild Man” while watching a friend’s show in Lyon, France.

The pictures give a glimpse of what life was like in Korea at the end of the turn of the 20th centuryThe nation, then united, was in the midst of huge upheaval with a 500-year-old dynasty about to lose powerThe decades that followed set the scene for the division into North and South Korea and the bloody Korean War By Steve Nolan Published: 01:58 GMT, 26 March 2013 | Updated: 08:08 GMT, 26 March 2013 With a young leader trying to assert his authority, mounting international tension and a growing army trying to establish itself as a military force to be reckoned with, life in Korea at the end of the 19th century would probably not sound all that alien to the inhabitants of at least one half of the former empire today.

Dark City: Eerie photos of night-time London evoke the lost beauty of a bygone era. By Sam Webb Published: 17:33 GMT, 6 January 2013 | Updated: 19:54 GMT, 6 January 2013 These atmospheric images show buildings, alleys and streets from the rapidly-disappearing London of the 1930s - cloaked in darkness. They were collated by a pair of photographers called John Morrison and Harold Burdekin for a book called London Night, which was published in 1934. They show the capital as it was before smog, before the Blitz changed the face of the city forever, and before the brutalist concrete monoliths of post-war rebuilding. They used newly-emerging night photography techniques to capture London's unique atmosphere.
