Bloomberg's Best Photos 2012: The Global Landscape. The year 2012 challenged Bloomberg photographers with a variety of global economic stories, from Japan Airlines' trading debut to Swiss banks losing employees, from Brazil's Petrobras reporting its first quarterly loss in 13 years to the grand opening of the 675,000-square-foot Barclay's Center in Brooklyn, New York. To tell these stories accurately in pictures more often than not required a bird's-eye view, see their work here in Global Landscape.
