4 h. ago ‘The boy jumped at just the right moment’: Pradiptamoy Paul’s best phone picture

The India-based street and documentary photographer captures a group of children in a moment of joyUniversity student Pradiptamoy Paul currently lives in Siliguri, West Bengal, but he still regularly visits his home town of Mathabhanga, a few hours’ drive away. On the day he took this photograph, back in 2023, he had done some work in the morning and was taking a walk by the Mansai riverside, hoping to capture something special.“It’s a residential area and there are no industrial sites nearby, so the water here is clean,” Paul says. “In this photo there is so much going on and so many characters. The boy at the front was taking a rest, someone else was splashing in the water, another boy was jumping from the concrete.

8 d. ago Visible pimple patches: a skincare trend for teenagers we needn’t be worried about | Sali Hughes on beauty

Don’t squeeze them! From neutral-toned beige to bright blue stars, these clever little patches are getting the thumbs up from teensThere’s a lot of concern around teenagers and skincare at the moment. Children who are barely out of Matey bubble bath are suddenly pleading for £80 moisturisers and anti-ageing serums that are wholly inappropriate for their bouncy, line-free skins – and some brands are marketing aggressively and irresponsibly in their direction.
