Excellence in Photojournalism, Single Photo
Laurel Chor, “Yehor,” SOPA Images
ABOUT THE WORK: The frontlines of the war in Ukraine stretch for thousands of miles, and the conflict is often painted in the broad strokes of geopolitics or billions in military spending. But this photograph gives a rare humanizing look into the individuals who are actually fighting the war.
Laurel Chor is a Hong Kong photographer, journalist and filmmaker.
Judges’ comments: “An excellent example of how simple can be powerful -- No distractions, no cluttered backgrounds -- just a straightforward portrait of a soldier in a tank where the eyes tell a story.”
Honorable mention: Joseph Bui, “Love,” Houston Landing
