The Year in New Yorker Instagrams
By The New Yorker
In August, the photographer Nguan (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/nguan/?hl=en">@nguan</a>) shared work from "Singapore," an ongoing project portraying Singaporean life in a pastel palette.
Each week, The New Yorker's photography department invites a guest contributor to host its Instagram feed, @newyorkerphoto. Some photographers use the feed to continue work on long-term journalism projects or to record their travels in far-flung locations; others document their home towns, make pictures of their families, or delve into photographic archives. Each has seven days to make our account her own.

In 2016, The New Yorker feed featured photographs from a refugee camp in Alexandria, Greece, and an ice-fishing camp in the rural Midwest; from summertime on Coney Island and the treacherous Old Hindustan Tibet Road in India; from Holy Week in Italy and the snowy villages of the Republic of Georgia. Above is a selection of some of our favorite Instagram takeovers of the year.
