Laura Jean Zito Ireland Honorable Mention People Professional "Sandstorm In The Duna" "Sandstorm in the Duna," speaks of man's lonely struggle to exist despite all obstacles. A Bedouin boy marches through a raging sandstorm toward a range of mountains, cast in a cold blue suggesting the unknown future, everyone's destiny, while the warm beige of the sand his feet seem to float upon evokes the familiar. Though he is followed by a loyal dog, also with arm raised over the eyes against the wind, the dog also uses him as a windbreaker, all in the natural order. The dog's gesture of paw over nose lends veracity to the universal battle against the elements. As the Bedouin dispense with belongings and carry only their communal memory, so the elements of the photograph are distilled to the essentials.

Carolin Tietz Germany Nominee People Professional "Human Moves Fly!" This image is part of my personal project Human Moves, created during the pandemic. My self-given assignment was simple: to give myself the job I would love most. I have a deep passion for blur in photography – and for small performing arts. The two handstand artists from Regensburg and I were all without work during COVID-19, and this project became a way for each of us to return to what we love. To me, this image represents freedom – the freedom to choose our own direction and movement, both physically and emotionally.
