The project explores the people and their lands – sacred areas where generations of their ancestors are buried.

Shot from above, the main characters are pictured as though they are laying down their lives for their territory.

The winners of the Open, Student, and Youth competitions have also been announced along with the overall winners in each of the Professional competition categories.

Sandra Herber is the winner in the Architecture category for her series Ice Fishing Huts, Lake Winnipeg.

“These huts, shacks or permies (as they are called in Manitoba) must be transportable, protect their occupants from the elements and allow access to the ice below for fishing.”

Protester in Hong Kong

Documentary category winner Chung Ming Ho focused on protesters for his series Wounds of Hong Kong.

“Reports suggest that since the demonstrations began, cases of depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have risen among the population.”

The wetlands of the Niger Delta

First place in the Environment category went to Robin Hinsch for his series Wahala which looks at the affects of the petroleum industry on the communities and ecosystem of the Niger Delta.

“Covering 70,000sq km [27,000sq miles] of wetlands, the Niger Delta was formed primarily by sediment deposition. The region is home to more than 30 million people and 40 different ethnic groups, making up 7.5% of Nigeria’s total land mass. It used to boast an incredibly rich ecosystem, containing one of the highest concentrations of biodiversity on the planet, before the oil industry moved in.”

Gates to a Shinto shrine

Ronny Behnert won the Landscape category with a series titled Torii – traditional Japanese gates commonly found at the entrance to Shinto shrines.

“Most of the time I use neutral density filters to force long exposures and keep my work minimalist in style. Some of my exposures last five minutes or more, which makes any distracting elements in the water or sky disappear – the longer the exposure, the clearer the photograph.”

Pangolin

Brent Stirton

Pangolins in Crisis by Brent Stirton was first in the Natural World & Wildlife category.

“Pangolins are the world’s most illegally trafficked mammals, with an estimated one million trafficked to Asia in the last 10 years. This body of work exposes the trade, while exploring aspects of illegality and celebrating the people who are trying to save these animals.”

Portraits of those rescued while crossing the Mediterranean Sea

Cesar Dezfuli

Portraiture winner Cesar Dezfuli photographed people rescued from a rubber boat drifting in the Mediterranean Sea for the series Passengers.

“The boat had departed some hours prior from Libya. In an attempt to give a human face to this event, I photographed the passengers minutes after their rescue. Their faces, their looks, the marks on their bodies all reflected the mood and physical state they were in after a journey that had already marked their lives forever.”

Senegalese Wrestlers by Angel Lopez Soto triumphed in the Sport category.

“Fights have been known to attract audiences of around 50,000 in a stadium. For many, it’s a slice of African life, tradition and culture, in which there is a mix of animist and Muslim beliefs.”

Still life of a man

Presentational white space

The Still Life category winner is Alessandro Gandolfi for his series Immortality Inc.

“Can man really become immortal? Few truly believe it, and so research has focused on cryo-conservation, man-machine hybridisation and mind downloads instead.”
