Some of my favourite projects for the HuffPost Highline, working with award-winning journalists. Don't miss Michael Hobbes's 'Everything You Know About Obesity Is Wrong' on the medical community's missteps on obesity, or Jason Fagone's 'What Bullets Do To Bodies' on Dr. Amy Goldberg's pioneering work saving victims of gun violence.

To celebrate our 20th anniversary, we're rounding some of our best pieces from the last 20 years.

On the cover of this week’s STM, talking about some of my favourite subjects.

Courtney Love, a crashed car and just 20 minutes. Imran Khan, a crowd and a precarious perch. In this Sunday’s , renowned photographer Finlay MacKay, now based here in Perth, tells Simon Collins the inside story of some of his most memorable shoots. From Sarah Michelle Gellar to Serena Williams, Usain Bolt, Lionel Messi and Donald Trump, the affable MacKay talks about what it takes to capture some of the world’s biggest names and recalls the only time he’s felt starstruck.

It’s Superbowl time. I don’t know much about American Football, but Jordan Mailata of Philadelphia Eagles does. Here’s a pic I took of him looking glorious for the The New York Times.

Couldn’t think of a more pressing time or cause. As politicians are mobilizing across the USA to pass extreme anti-abortion bans, I ventured down to Mississippi with VICE News to cover the protests outside of the last remaining abortion clinic.

The rise of the radical anti-abortion movement has transformed statehouses, courts, and the White House. Experts worry violence will follow.

“I think I felt overwhelmed because of how unusual and refreshing and wonderful it is to see fat folks being happy and being fat. And it was also lovely to see that it wasn’t the fake happy of ‘I’m always happy with my body and isn’t it beautiful 100 percent of the time like I am,’ the way that some body-positive folks talk about bodies. It was real. The photos spoke of both the struggle and the peace, the shame and the joy. I felt as if our humanity was captured, and it showed a range of powerful, diverse folks living life in fat bodies. That was really powerful. It’s sad that we don’t see this, really ever, unless you are in some obscure fat-positive group.” - Erin Harrop
