Title: “Mercedes” – Havana, Cuba 2018
Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition characterized by patches of the skin losing their pigment.
Mercedes, 42 years old is posing in her house. The first Vitiligo marks appeared on her elbows and legs by the age of 35, after her grandmother’s death. Now Vitiligo took over 90% of her body. She used Cuban treatments with good results but in the end, she gave up the treatment as she was fed up with applying the lotion every day. Now she puts black makeup on her face in order to camouflage the white skin.
Giulia Savorelli – 2nd Prize

“Terroni’s Before the Procession” – London, UK
“Il Quartiere”, as it is referred to, is a triangle between Farringdon, Clerkenwell, and Holborn where the Italian ghetto used to be, and where today a large part of the community still resides and gathers. Part of the ongoing project started as a response to Italy’s increasingly hostile position on immigration, from policymakers to a (saddening) majority of the public. Through a series of portraits this project aims to explore, and trace the history of, Italian immigrants in London today.
Stuart Chape – 3rd Prize
Title: ‘Tonle Sap and Chong Kneas village’, Cambodia

Title: “Emeralds No. 2”
“Emeralds No. 2” is part of a series of photographs that explore the ephemeral quality of light and color in regions that are susceptible to transient weather conditions. In Northeast Brazil, the LenÁÛis Maranhenses is a range of coastal sand dunes that is isolated and temperamental. Though desert-like, it rains 47-inches per year, creating a vast system of freshwater lagoons. Every dry season, the water evaporates and harsh winds cause the dunes to shift. As part of my continuing study of the role that weather plays in how we experience a landscape, these photographs are my testimony to the incredible fragility of the earth as it confronts climate change.
Khanh Phan-Thi – Finalist
Title: “Vietnam from Above”
A woman is drying incense sticks, a process in making incense. Vietnamese believe that incense is a tool to connect the living with the spirits. When people burn incense, they can talk to spirits and pray.
Leon Düllberg – Finalist
Title: “Fjallsjökull” – Iceland 2016
Nicol Cambré – Finalist
Title: “The Road to Kigali” – Beyond the visible light.
The image was taken with an infrared converted camera, creating a winter landscape in Africa.
Sandra Mickiewicz – Finalist
Title: “Ernie”
Ernie comes from a Gypsy family living in the UK. I met him at the Dereham Horse Fair near Norwich. The day before I went to photograph the fair, the weather was bad and the whole field was covered in mud. It didn’t stop Ernie to run around the field and ride on his horse. He was all covered in mud. Before he washed, I asked him to pose for me. He then took two of his dogs as he wanted to have a picture with them.
