Magnum Photos 78th Annual General Meeting 2025

On Wednesday, June 25, Magnum photographers, estate representatives, and staff began the 78th Annual General Meeting (AGM), an event that has taken place every year since the cooperative’s founding in 1947. Usually based in one of Magnum’s three home cities — New York, Paris, or London — this was the second time in its history that the events unfolded online, allowing participants to join virtually from around the world. 

The AGM is traditionally a moment to reflect on the past year and exchange ideas on business, priorities and strategy for the future, led by the cooperative’s president. Cristina de Middel stepped down as Magnum President after a three-year tenure, and Marina Fusco of the Paul Fusco Estate became Chair of the Board, with Alec Soth, Lorenzo Meloni, and Gregory Halpern becoming the agency’s Co-Presidents during the course of the AGM.
