Sometimes the best photos depict a place you know intimately. In 2018 our staff photojournalists found many of their greatest photos in our own backyard - in Deering Oaks Park, in Portland’s City Hall council chambers, on the Eastern Promenade, and on Scarborough’s and Saco’s beaches. We also took an in-depth look at Bayside, a Portland neighborhood in distress, and we documented the high school ritual of the prom with portraits of young people on the cusp of adulthood.

Meet the Press Herald photographers and talk to them about their work on Friday, January 4, 5:30 to 7 p.m.
at the Photos of the Year opening reception
at the Portland Public Library.
